Global Virtualized Evolved Packet Core Market

The virtual evolved packet core(vEPC) refers to the framework for virtualizing the functions of the evolved packet core (EPC), which has traditionally been utilized in LTE networks. By harnessing the principles of network functions virtualization (NFV), vEPC enables the core network functions to be run on generic servers rather than on specialized hardware, allowing for greater scalability, flexibility, and efficiency in the management and deployment of network services. Government initiatives to achieve digitalization capabilities in diverse industrial sectors, including telecommunication and network infrastructure, are also gaining traction. However, complexities in integrating vEPC with existing mobile core and back office systems and the possibility of privacy breaches and loss of data security pose hurdles to the widespread adoption of the technology. However, major players are continuously exploring the integration of new technologies such as AI, Ml, and IoT to overcome regulatory and technical challenges. Furthermore, the proliferation of 4G LTE networks and the transition towards 5G can provide new avenues of growth for the industry. With the ability to provide higher throughput, lower latency, and massive device connectivity, 5G deployment serves as a major driver for widening applications of vEPC technology.

Regional Insights

North America, being a developed market, witnesses higher use and production of virtually evolved packet cores (vEPC), primarily due to advanced technology implementations and dense network infrastructures. Compatibility with 4G LTE and 5G networks has increased vEPC's popularity in the region. Major telecom companies actively involved in vEPC are based in the U.S. and Canada, and South America exhibits a growing trend for vEPC. Asia exhibits a dynamic picture of vEPC use, with rapidly growing economies such as India and China witnessing huge demand due to massive mobile data consumption and infrastructure development. A significant penetration rate of 4G and impending 5G adoption are driving up the vEPC market in the region. Countries such as Japan and South Korea are leading in production capabilities, with some regional companies at the forefront. In Europe, vEPC is extensively utilized due to the proliferation of LTE networks and the emphasis on network virtualization. High-end smartphone usage and the rising need for high-speed data are contributing factors. Western Europe, especially the UK, Germany, and France, show high production rates with the government spearheading the 5G initiative. The rise in data traffic, IoT proliferation, and the advent of 5G are factors encouraging companies to invest heavily in vEPC solutions in the Middle East & Africa.
