The Middle East & Africa private LTE market was valued at US$ 426.42 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1.03 billion by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2022 to 2030.
Emergence of New Industrial and Residential Use Cases Bolsters Middle East & Africa Private LTE Market.
The advent of private LTE has brought many new use cases for industrial and residential uses that are anticipated to be enabled by evolving networks over the years. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) for residential use and distributed cloud for industries could be examples of this kind. A market competing with fixed broadband access is driving a need for higher bandwidth. The objective is to provide fiber-like speeds that meet the demand for residential streaming services, such as TV and video. Typical data speed demand ranges from 100 to 4,000 Mbps. However, there is a limited business case to provide fixed broadband alternatives. Specific data speed demand ranges from 50 to 200 Mbps.
Networks are evolving to handle utilize cases with different demands on integrity, mobility, data rates, latency, scalability, security, reliability, and availability. Such requests can be met by distributed cloud architecture, which enables application deployment at distributed, central, and edge sites to meet specific use case requirements. Compared to what is possible from major sites, providing services closer to the user reduces the network transport delay and enables faster time to action, content, and control.
Executing workloads closer to the network edge also reduces the need for backhaul bandwidth and capacity, and the distribution of workloads and storage over multiple sites increases availability. Overall, the emergence of these new use cases is making private LTE a more attractive option for a wider range of industries and individuals. As the technology matures and becomes more cost-effective, more innovative applications are expected to emerge, further fueling the growth of the Middle East & Africa private LTE market.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry in the UAE is experiencing growth owing to the government support through incentive schemes for a brand-friendly environment, growing healthcare needs, and increasing domestic production. Several new pharmaceutical plants are being launched in the country. For instance, in October 2023, Himalaya Wellness Company LLC expanded in UAE with groundbreaking of US$ 54.44 million Herbal Pharmaceutical Factory at Dubai Industrial City. Additionally, other Middle East countries, such as Oman and Israel, are also expected to witness the growth of its manufacturing sector.
The Oman government is supporting the manufacturing industry by introducing several incentives as well as promoting FDIs. Further, it has created special economic zones to enhance manufacturing growth. The growth of the manufacturing industry in the region is anticipated to further propel the market demand for the implementation of private LTE in the MEA region.
Moreover, the implementation of private LTE is increasing in the MEA. For instance, in November 2023, Ooredoo, a Qatari mobile provider, implemented a Nokia private LTE network for the oil & gas industry, including both offshore and onshore operations. Thus, considering the above parameters, the Middle East & Africa private LTE market is boosting in Middle East & Africa.
