The Open vRAN market in Italy is growing steadily as telecom operators seek cost-effective and agile alternatives to traditional RAN solutions. The main driver is Italy’s push toward 5G network expansion, coupled with regulatory support for vendor-neutral infrastructure. As Italian operators aim to diversify vendor dependencies and enhance network flexibility, Open vRAN offers an appealing solution. However, the market faces restraints due to legacy infrastructure still being dominant in many regions and the high initial costs of deployment and integration. An opportunity lies in the Italian government's digital transformation initiatives and funding mechanisms for 5G and fiber rollout, which can accelerate Open vRAN adoption. A key trend is the collaboration between operators and European technology vendors to build interoperable RAN solutions. Italy's Open vRAN market is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 22.5% between 2023 and 2030.
