Virtualized Evolved Packet Core Market

The term Virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) is a network architecture used in telecommunications, particularly in the realm of mobile networks. It's a virtualized and software-based version of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), which is a critical component of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and 5G networks. vEPC replaces traditional hardware-based EPC elements with software running on virtual machines (VMs) or cloud infrastructure. The portions of the network's core that were previously managed by dedicated hardware are now managed by software on economical commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers.

The building of a voice and data 4G (Long Term Evolution [LTE]) network can be virtualized with the help of a system called virtualized Evolved Packet Core (VEPC) solutions. The vEPC industry is expanding quickly as a result of the sharp rise in mobile long-term evolution (LTE) users worldwide. Businesses are implementing vEPC, which is anticipated to spur the market for vPEC to expand in the years to come. 

The development of 5G infrastructure drives the market for the virtualized evolving packet core. Numerous new technological developments have occurred, including 5G, in the telecommunications sector. The IoT and M2M services market is anticipated to increase significantly throughout the projected period. Several mobile suppliers have installed vEPC in the IoT packet core network. VEPC solution providers are also preparing NFV solutions for the IoT cellular network. It is simple for the operator to provide superior connections for M2M devices & explore new services for customers by accepting the vEPC solution in IoT core networks.

Market Segmentation:

The Virtualized Evolved Packet Core market segmentation is By Offering, Deployment Mode, Network Type, End-User. As per the Offerings, it is divided into  Solutions and services. Solutions comprise Virtualized Packet Gateway, Virtualized Mobility Management Entity (vMME), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). Also, Services consist of Consulting and Advisory Services, System Integration and Deployment Services, and Maintenance and Support Services.

The second segment, Deployment Modes, is of two types: On-Premises and Cloud-based. By Network Type, the market is segmented into LTE and 5G. Whereas, by End-User, the market is divided into Telecommunication Service Providers (Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Virtual Network Operators (VNOs)) and Enterprises (Manufacturing (Healthcare, Transportation and Logistics).

Based On Component, The Services Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Virtualized Evolved Packet Core Market. 

During the forecast period, a greater CAGR is envisaged for the Services section. Services play a significant role in the adoption and integration of next-generation networking solutions in an organization's operational environment. Because they primarily focus on optimizing business operations and improving the organisation's network, services are seen as a significant component of the VEPC industry. Because they are essential to meeting the clients' needs, services, including network testing, planning, optimization, support, and advising, are regarded as the heart of VEPC.

The Telecom Operators Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate.

The Telecom Operators are anticipated to hold the biggest market share during the projection period. Telecom operators in many countries have already started using virtualized evolved packet core solutions. The South Korean carrier SK Telecom has successfully implemented a virtualized evolving packet core system. Telecom companies in North America and Asia Pacific have also applied the technology to boost network effectiveness. 

In The Region, The North America Virtualized Evolved Packet Core Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.

Because there are numerous large telecom giants in the region, vEPC solution providers are anticipated to have a major market share. The machine-to-machine (M2M), Internet of Things (IoT), and wireless broadband networks are all being used by mobile providers. 2018 will see the US government's planned rollout of the CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) band for private operators and businesses, which will serve as a stimulus for the expansion of vEPC solutions in the enterprise market.

The market expansion in this region is due to the rising demand for VoLTE and the rising use of multimedia services. The market in the area is experiencing accelerated expansion as a result of the existence of cutting-edge telecom network infrastructure and rising 4G technology adoption.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.

Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.

Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.

Secondary research

The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:

  • Company websites, financial reports, annual reports, investor presentations, broker reports, and SEC filings.
  • External and internal proprietary databases, regulatory databases, and relevant patent analysis
  • Statistical databases, National government documents, and market reports
  • Press releases, news articles, and webcasts specific to the companies operating in the market

The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista

Primary Research:

Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies

  • Outside experts: Valuation experts, Investment bankers, research analysts specializing in specific markets
  • Key opinion leaders (KOLs) specializing in unique areas corresponding to various industry verticals
  • End-users: Vary mainly depending upon the market

Data Modeling and Analysis:

In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.

The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
