The north america and europe open radio access network (Open RAN) market size is expected to reach USD 27,153.44 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “North America and Europe Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Offering (Hardware, Software, and Services), By Frequency, By Ownership Model, By Deployment Phase, By Type, By End User, and By Region; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

North America and Europe open radio access network (Open RAN) refer to the regional deployment and adoption of open RAN technology. Open RAN creates interoperable and vendor-neutral mobile network infrastructures. Telecom operators in North America and Europe are using open RAN to reduce dependency on single vendors and lower costs. The growth in urbanization and high adoption of smartphones in these regions is propelling the market growth.

Open radio access network (Open RAN) is a telecom architecture that disaggregates radio access networks into open, interoperable components. Open RAN splits functions into radio units (RU), distributed units (DU), and centralized units (CU) that allow equipment from different vendors to work together seamlessly. Open RAN facilitates innovation by reducing vendor lock-in and expanding operational efficiencies.
