Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Size

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Analysis

The Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market size is estimated at USD 165.49 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 248.42 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The market for virtual mobile infrastructure is expected to expand in popularity due to the rapid rise of mobile phones around the world and the expansion of associated and smart frameworks. Furthermore, the virtual mobile infrastructure provides capabilities such as app network consumption, app blocking, and compliance reporting tools, all contributing to the market's growth.

• The rise in smartphone penetration is driving the virtual mobile infrastructure market. Enterprises can use virtual mobile infrastructure to host their mobile applications on servers and provide customizable remote access from any device. Deploying high-density virtual mobile infrastructure, the virtual mobile infrastructure helps to cut hardware and operating costs. Furthermore, many businesses focus on developing a single app that supports all types of mobile devices. Virtual mobile infrastructure provides advantages to companies, which is expected to drive the market.
• Electronic subscriber identification modules (e-SIMs) will provide out-of-the-box connection, making it available to all regional customers without needing particular installation, resulting in greater simplicity of use. NFV and SDN will offer new levels of rapid time-to-market (TTM) for new services and additional benefits, such as better managing wholesale data costs by lowering video traffic on the host network via traffic shaping on a virtualized packet gateway (PGW).
• In the context of the EU Roaming Regulation review, which would be extended until 2032, MVNO Europe, the group representing Mobile Virtual Network Operators active in the European Union, fought for reduced maximum wholesale rates and roaming access for IoT purposes. Although MVNO Europe welcomes the extension of the Roam-Like-At-Home regime until 2032, the association believes that more ambition could have been demonstrated by further lowering caps and expanding the Roam-Like-At-Home regime's application to IoT applications.
• To ensure business continuity, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, business organizations, especially in highly affected countries, are allowing their employees to work from home (WFH). The increase in people working from home has led to increased demand for downloading, online video viewing, and communication through video conferencing, all leading to increased network traffic and data usage. Moreover, Vodafone UK has witnessed a 50% increase in internet traffic. Orange España is offering customers access to the free data bundles. Pre-paid customers can now access an additional 15 GB, while customers on postpaid plans can access an additional 30 GB.
• Moreover, security risks are also likely to concern the organizations. A third-party company may govern its work. To date, the third-party managers have handled services with utmost care. However, the threat of data breaches is always on, which also challenges market growth.The increasing activities of cyber criminals becoming successful at penetrating and moving laterally within the security perimeter are expected to increase privacy concerns. Organizations relying solely on on-premises firewalls and VPNs lack the visibility solution integration and agility to deliver timely end-to-end security coverage. As evidence, large-scale, multi-vector mega attacks are growing, wreaking havoc on organizations and individuals worldwide.
