Microwave Transmission Equipment Market Declined 14 Percent Y/Y in First Half 2020, According to Dell'Oro Group

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications and networks industries, the market for Microwave Transmission equipment declined 14 percent year-over-year (Y/Y) in first half 2020 to $1.3 billion.

"Most of the decline in the Microwave Transmission market was due to lockdowns instituted by governments to stop the spread of COVID-19," stated Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "As a result of these national lockdowns, microwave manufacturers often faced difficulties in obtaining components, shipping products to customers, installing equipment, and obtaining permits and licenses. We believe with fewer lockdowns in second half of 2020, the demand for microwave gear will improve," continued Yu.

Highlights from the 2Q 2020 Quarterly Report:

    --  The impact on sales into mobile backhaul applications was more severe
        than into the Verticals market. Mobile backhaul revenue declined 16
        percent Y/Y in 1H 2020.
    --  The top three vendors for the semi-annual period were Huawei, Ericsson,
        and Nokia. Huawei continued to hold a significant amount of share over
        its competition, leading others by over 10 percentage points.
    --  All vendors reported lower revenue in 1H 2020 with the exception of
        Aviat, E-Band Communications, Nokia, and Siklu. In the period, Nokia
        gained the most market share--the company's share count increased by
        nearly 3 percentage points.
    --  Full Outdoor Unit shipments continued to outperform the other product
        configurations. In 2H 2020, full outdoor shipments grew 11 percent Y/Y.
