2024 has been a year of recalibration for the global telecom equipment market. The first three quarters saw a 10.4% YoY revenue decline across seven leading vendors, reflecting the lingering effects of inventory adjustments. But there’s good news on the horizon:
💡 Inventory Stabilization: Major players like Cisco, Nokia, and Juniper report that inventory digestion is nearing completion, paving the way for renewed momentum.
💡 Strong Cloud Demand: With hyperscalers focusing on interconnecting GPUs across data center campuses, cloud-driven growth is gaining strength, benefiting companies like Ciena.
💡 Challenges in Mobile Networks: While mobile operators remain cautious, tendering activities are picking up, and North America offers a beacon of hope with robust contract deliveries.
