Distributed Antenna Systems Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) market was valued at USD 10.04 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 19.84 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 12.10% over the forecast period 2021 - 2026. The developments in communication technology that have led to the evolution of high-speed connectivity, lesser power-consuming network devices, and more substantial connectivity coverage have boosted the market for DAS systems.

• DAS adoption rate has increased dramatically, as it provides several advantages over single-antenna systems. However, this is achieved at a higher cost and the deployment of a complicated system. Nevertheless, DAS is being used across various areas to enable businesses to get the coverage necessary for applications.​
• Although the concept of distributed antenna systems has existed for many years, the increased deployment of wireless networks within buildings with potential applications across smart homes and connected devices has encouraged the implementation of DAS systems increasingly in the market.
• The cost of a DAS solution varies based on the time and range. For example, passive DAS used to identify the coverage of cellular carriers simultaneously is at the lower end and may cost only a couple of hundreds or thousands of dollars; however, active DAS is used for enhancing in-building coverage of one or more mobile service provider networks comes at higher costs.
• The smallest passive system's cost can only be USD 299.99 for a small home bi-directional amplifier (BDA) system, and for a robust commercial DAS that can boost coverage within indoor spaces up to 100,000 sq. ft can even cost thousands of dollars. Also, it requires professional installation by a certified DAS installer. Overall, the high cost of upgradation challenges the market growth.​
• During the COVID-19 crisis, crucial technologies play a vital role in keeping society functional during lockdowns and quarantines. Technologies such as DAS and other related technologies are expected to have a long-lasting impact. Continuous monitoring for the emerging signs of a possible new world order post-COVID-19 crisis is a must for aspiring businesses, and the major players are seeking to find success in the now changing Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).

Scope of the Report

The DAS is a network of antennas spaced apart from each other connected to a familiar source. Using this feature, DAS will provide wireless or radio coverage within a given area. It can be deployed in densely populated areas like malls and provide high bandwidth without installing micro or small cells. Security, health care, and building communication are among the primary end-user segments driving the market and industrial applications.

The market study is segmented by multiple types such as active, passive, digital, hybrid; end-users such as manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, government, transportation, sports and entertainment; application like enterprise DAS, public safety DAS; and geography.

Key Market Trends

Public Safety DAS to Significantly Drive the Market Growth

• These systems provide wireless service via an antenna system, particularly to buildings, to ensure that emergency responders maintain wireless communications within a building structure and on-the-job in emergencies. Enabling emergency communication is crucial for the men and women who are often the first on a scene for public safety.
• In public safety, DAS design will need to meet the system coverage requirements of both the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Fire Code (IFC). While IFC dictates that 95% of coverage is needed in all areas, NFPA dictates that 99% coverage is required in areas of vital importance, such as those designated by the local fire department.
• With higher deaths due to fires in countries such as the United States, DAS are expected to witness an increased adoption, owing to the rising significance of public safety. The DAS market is also witnessing increased penetration of high-speed internet technologies, such as 4G and 5G, which has led to modifications of public safety in building wireless DAS to support such internet speeds. ​
• This, in turn, has enabled a more extended reach and has been promoting the market's growth. Furthermore, the growing trend of smart city development in emerging economies has led to the faster application of public safety in-building wireless DAS in several residential and commercial building complexes. This has again positively influenced the growth of the global public safety in-building wireless DAS market.​
