세계의 실내 무선 시장 전망(-2030년) : 구성요소별, 주파수 대역별, 비즈니스 모델별, 기술별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global In-Building Wireless Market is accounted for $20.15 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $36.92 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period. In-building wireless refers to a network system that enhances wireless communication inside buildings where signals from outdoor cellular towers may be weak or obstructed. These systems use a combination of small cells, repeaters, and distributed antenna systems (DAS) to distribute cellular, Wi-Fi, or public safety radio signals within a structure, ensuring consistent coverage and improved network capacity. IBW solutions are crucial for maintaining reliable communication where external wireless signals struggle to penetrate walls and other barriers.

According to the US Census Bureau, in early 2020, the number of building permits for new residential construction in the U.S. rose, reaching a peak of 169,000 units in March. With more than 11 units approved per 1,000 population, Idaho and Utah have the greatest rate of new residential buildings in the United States.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing mobile data traffic

As more users access data-heavy applications, such as video streaming, online gaming, and cloud services, the existing network infrastructure often struggles to provide adequate coverage and capacity within buildings. This leads businesses and facility managers to invest in IBW solutions like distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cells to improve signal strength and network reliability. Consequently, the need for seamless, high-speed connectivity in workplaces, shopping malls, and public venues drives the adoption of IBW systems, fostering market expansion.

Restraint:

Complex infrastructure requirements

Complex infrastructure requirements in IBW systems arise from the need to integrate various technologies, within existing building structures. Retrofitting older buildings can be challenging due to limited space, architectural constraints, and the need for extensive planning and coordination with multiple stakeholders. These complexities can lead to longer installation timelines and increased costs, hindering market growth. Additionally, the need for specialized expertise and potential disruptions during installation may discourage some businesses from investing in IBW solutions.

Opportunity:

Expansion of 5G networks

The expansion of 5G networks is a key driver for the growth of the IBW, as 5G's higher frequency bands, such as mmWave, have limited range and struggle to penetrate building materials like concrete and glass. To ensure seamless, high-speed connectivity indoors, IBW solutions like distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cells are essential. As businesses, public spaces, and homes increasingly demand fast, reliable indoor 5G coverage for data-heavy applications, IoT devices, and real-time communications, the need for advanced IBW systems rises, propelling market growth.

Threat:

High installation costs

High installation costs in the IBW crop up from the need for specialized equipment, extensive infrastructure, and skilled labor. Deploying systems like distributed antenna systems (DAS) or small cells often involve significant expenses for site surveys, network design, and integration with existing infrastructure. As a result, the financial barrier limits market penetration and slows down the overall adoption of advanced wireless technologies, hindering the growth of the IBW market.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the in-building wireless market, driving increased demand for reliable indoor connectivity as remote work, virtual meetings, and online services surged. With more people working from home and using digital platforms, the need for enhanced indoor network coverage became critical. However, delays in construction projects and disruptions in supply chains due to lockdowns slowed the deployment of IBW systems. The market rebounded as businesses and public spaces prioritized robust indoor networks for post-pandemic digital infrastructure.

The carrier model segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The carrier model segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. The carrier model in in-building wireless refers to a framework where mobile network operators (MNOs) partner with in-building wireless solution providers to enhance coverage and capacity within commercial and public spaces. This model allows carriers to deploy their services efficiently, ensuring seamless connectivity for users inside buildings. It distributes the cellular signal throughout the structure, improving user experience and supporting increasing data demands in high-traffic areas.

The commercial buildings segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The commercial buildings segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In commercial buildings, in-building wireless solutions enhance connectivity and communication, enabling seamless data transmission for employees and visitors. These systems support various applications, including Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and IoT devices, ensuring reliable coverage across offices, retail spaces, and conference rooms. As businesses increasingly rely on mobile technology, robust in-building wireless networks are essential for operational efficiency and competitiveness.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period driven by urbanization, increasing mobile data traffic, and expanding 5G networks. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India are investing heavily in IBW systems to ensure seamless connectivity in commercial, residential, and public spaces. The rise of smart cities and the demand for reliable indoor coverage in large office complexes, hospitals, and transportation hubs further fuel market expansion. Government initiatives and a strong telecom sector are also boosting IBW deployment, making the region a key growth hub for the industry.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to the rising need for seamless indoor connectivity in commercial and public spaces. The U.S. and Canada lead the market due to extensive 4G/5G infrastructure, high smartphone penetration, and a strong focus on enhancing network capacity in offices, stadiums, hospitals, and transportation hubs. The shift towards remote work and digital services during and after covid-19 further accelerated IBW adoption. Additionally, advancements in public safety communication systems are boosting demand in this region.
