Segments - Voice over LTE Market by Technology (Voice over IP Multimedia Subsystem, Circuit Switched Fallback, and Dual Radio or Simultaneous Voice and LTE) and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 - 2031
The global voice over LTE market size was valued at USD 34.8 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1.34 Trillion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 50.1% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in the use of high-speed internet.
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a communication technology that enables voice and video call services using over an LTE network or a 4G network. The technology allows data transmission using IP-based network and ensures effective functioning of the data capabilities of LTE. It offers both voice and data service to merge that results in better quality and efficiency of communication.
Using this technology, network operators can offer various services such as a voice call, messaging, and video call. It also empowers the operators to use data network for transmission of voice services to increase spectrum efficiency that will result in reducing the operational and maintenance costs.
The technology further enables the operators to optimize their IMS infrastructure and allows to provide a new set of standards on the basis of services such as rich communication services (RCS). The RCS as a new technique has several advantages in assisting video calling, real time language translation, voice mail, and instant messaging. Additionally, it ensures faster connection time for VoLTE calls and enhances the battery life as compared to other VoIP applications.
VoLTE technology provides provisions for faster call setup times, true device interoperability, high definition (HD) voice and RCS. HD voice technology provides clear audio output and minimize the background noise much better as compared to standard voice calls. Furthermore, VoLTE technology uses IMS call control for LTE voice services. IMS provides voice services including calling line identification, call terminating, and other extended services such as advanced multimedia and value-added services. The requirement of a new spectrum is eliminated by the reuse of 2G & 3G spectrum. Moreover, optimization of network and simplification of service delivery help to reduce the overall cost.
