North America is anticipated to lead the wireless network infrastructure ecosystem during the study period, followed by Europe owing to the increasing number of internet users and fast adoption of innovative technologies to improve efficiency and carry out day-to-day jobs in the North American countries such as US, Canada, and Mexico. The key drivers for the wireless network infrastructure ecosystem include the rising  demand for high speed data connection and the growing adoption of smartphones. However, spectrum scarcity issue for commercial mobile radio frequency-based networks is an issue restraining the market growth. Moreover, the increasing use of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) technology, and video conferencing in Europe and North America have further increased the need for high-speed wireless data connection in businesses.

Wireless network infrastructure is the hardware and software resources of an entire network that enable network connectivity, communication, operations, and management of an enterprise network. It provides the communication path and services between users, processes, applications, services and external networks/the internet. The growing ownership of smartphones has led to a dramatic increase in Internet traffic. Smartphones are increasingly getting equipped to handle various applications for video streaming, mobile gaming, and video conferencing among others, which has further increased the requirement of high-speed data connection. The development of online applications such as navigation, online food delivery, media, and entertainment have led to a rapid increase in data traffic which has strained the mobile networks. Development of innovative solutions to fulfil the ever-growing data connection demands due to the increasing number of smartphone users is expected to drive the growth of wireless infrastructure ecosystem market during the forecast period.
