Open RAN Market Growth & Trends

The global open RAN market size is estimated to reach USD 20.41 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 25.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. An open radio access network (O-RAN or Open RAN) is a concept based on the standardization and interoperability of RAN elements, including open-source software elements and a unified interconnection standard for white-box hardware from various vendors. Increasing adoption of open RAN hardware and software owing to their numerous benefits, such as improved network performance, lower equipment costs, improved security, and network flexibility, is a major factor driving the growth of the market.

In addition, the increasing commercialization of 5G services and demand for O-RAN from mobile operators are further driving the market’s growth. The O-RAN technology and architecture reduce mobile network deployment and maintenance costs by encouraging competition among vendors and streamlining network management. It also reduces the need for costly proprietary hardware and enables operators to source components from multiple vendors. This multi-vendor ecosystem ultimately saves costs and enhances network resiliency. Furthermore, open RAN is transforming the telecommunications industry by incorporating modern cloud and software technologies, ultimately propelling the market's growth.

Furthermore, the robust deployment of a 5G radio access network with several macrocells and small cell base stations and the introduction of open RAN components by several players worldwide is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in October 2022, Vodafone Group Plc and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. announced their partnership to develop, integrate, and test next-generation 5G radio units (RU) and distributed units (DUs) with Massive MIMO capabilities to meet the demands of the modern networks and to provide the commercial deployment of O-RAN in Europe.The growing demand for low latency and high-speed bandwidth connection and the increased focus of major organizations on research and development activities are some of the factors boosting the market growth.

In addition, the increasing deployment of 5G open RAN and core equipment across numerous applications, such as remote surgeries, smart cities, industrial robotics, enterprises, wireless cameras, and autonomous vehicles is further driving the growth of the market. The global deployment of O-RAN faced substantial delays during the COVID-19 pandemic due to factors, such as reduced network infrastructure spending and a limited workforce. Telecom providers prioritized focused capacity coverage rather than large-scale deployments due to the scarcity of investments and resources. However, post-pandemic, owing to the growing digital transformation & demand for 5G services, countries and companies are eagerly investing in integrating and developing O-RAN technology into their telecommunications infrastructure. This, in turn, is expected to improve the market growth.
