North America is expected to have the largest market size; Asia Pacific (APAC) to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.

North America is expected to hold the largest share in the global Virtualized EPC market during the forecast period. The region is the biggest market for vEPC solution providers due to the presence of big telecom giants. Mobile operators are rolling out new use cases using their networks such as (Internet of Things) IoT, Machine to machine (M2M), and wireless broadbands. The US government has planned to rollout Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band for private operators and enterprises in 2018, which will act as a catalyst for the growth of vEPC solution in the enterprises segment.

APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Mobile operators in the countries such as Japan, South Korea, and China are the early adopters of the vEPC solution. The operators have implemented virtualized network components on their network for Voice over LTE (VoLTE), IoT, and M2M communication. Majority of operators and enterprises in the APAC region are still using traditional EPC solution, which is expected to shift towards vEPC solutions.
