The healthcare sector held the largest share of the VoWLAN Market in 2015, followed by the logistics and transportation sector.

Services play an important role because in VoWLAN the quality of voice, performance and speed are the major challenges. The VoWLAN system is susceptible to external changes and disturbance while connected with the network, which may affect coverage and call quality, and therefore, it requires continuous monitoring, maintenance and support, hence the service market is expected to grow as compared to hardware market.

Initiatives such as Wi-Fi calling enabled by dual-mode smartphones drives the need for VoWLAN systems. As China has the largest smartphone market in the world, VoWLAN is expected to well in China.
