Market demand increased for both High Capacity and E/V Band systems. E/V Band system shipments grew at a higher pace of 11 percent in the year.

For 2021, Huawei held the highest market share in Mobile Backhaul, accounting for approximately one-third of total radio transceiver shipments.

Ericsson and NEC gained a significant amount of market share in mobile backhaul, each capturing three to four percentage points of additional revenue share.
