Research Nester released a report titled “Over The Air Testing Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2027” that delivers detailed overview of the global over-the-air (OTA) testing market in terms of market segmentation by technology, by application, by end-user and by regions.

Further, for the in-depth analysis, the report encompasses the industry growth drivers, restraints, supply and demand risk, market attractiveness, BPS analysis and Porter’s five force model.

The global over-the-air (OTA) testing market is expected to register a CAGR of around 10.30% over the forecast period, i.e., 2019-2027. The growth of OTA testing market is driven by advancement in technology such as 5G, IoT and automation combined with implementation of smart cities around the world.

Safety, performance, and reliability of wireless devices are examined through OTA testing, to predict their proficiency in the real world. This test is conducted to meet desired standards which helps in evaluation of antenna and receiver performance. The over the air testing of wireless devices is mandated by many regulatory bodies, standard organizations, industrial bodies and telecom carriers, because it is a requirement laid by the cellular telecommunications and internet association (CTIA). These factors are contributing significantly towards the growth of the market.

With increased penetration of internet of things (IoT) and machine to machine (M2M) devices, the global over-the-air (OTA) testing market is estimated to witness significant growth. Moreover, smart cities will have a far more connected physical infrastructure as compared to conventional cities, thus the need for OTA testing is estimated to grow. Smart cities will significantly increase the number of wireless and smart connected devices leading to rise in OTA testing of wireless devices to meet the industry standards and facilitate assessment of antennas and receiver performance. The concept of smart cities with smart homes is one of the notable factors driving the growth of OTA testing market.

On the basis of region, North America holds the largest market share in OTA testing which can be attributed to increased government spending on IoT and connected devices in the region. The highest growth rate in this industry is estimated to be witnessed by Asia-Pacific owing to high rate of urbanization and strong economic growth in the region.

Rising Penetration of IoT and Smart Devices

It is mandatory for companies to comply with OTA testing to get the approval from cellular telecommunications and internet association (CTIA).  In addition, it is also a requirement for various carriers, vendors, and standard organizations to determine if wireless devices meet the prescribed standards. With an increase in IoT and adoption of smart devices, the demand for OTA testing is expected to grow, which is further estimated to drive the growth of the OTA testing market.
