Pune, India, August, 2018 /MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future published a half cooked research report on Global virtual evolved packet core Market.

Market Highlights

Market Research Future (MRFR) has revealed in its latest study that the global virtualized evolved packet core (vEPC) market is set to proliferate exponentially at 21.12% CAGR during the forecast period 2023 to 2032. The vEPC market is projected to reach a valuation of USD  3.5 Bn by 2023-end up from USD 21.12 Bn in 2032.  The strong value maintained by the telecommunications sector has paved the way for the adoption of virtualized evolved packet core technology.

The evolution of mobile communication from First Generation (1G) to the currently dominated Fourth Generation (4G) enabled devices has intensified the need for providing access network functions. It has heightened the need for increasing the capacity and coverage of the communication, which is poised to encourage revenue creation for the vEPC market players. The embracement of virtualized evolved packet core technology ensures cost efficiency and a reduction in capital expenditure (Capex) and operational expenditure (Opex). This, in turn, is projected to accelerate market proliferation over the next couple of years. Additionally, the technology offers better customer experience and improved network management. It is anticipated to catapult the market on an upward trajectory. The growth of the market can be ascribed to the increasing demand for LTE communication, penetration of smartphones, etc. The advancement in technologies such as 5G, IoT, and M2M have opened avenues of growth opportunities for the market players.
