Segments - 5G Infrastructure Market by Components (Hardware [Radio Access Network, Core Network, and Backhaul & Transport] and Services [Consulting, Implementation & Integration, Support & Maintenance, and Training & Education]), Spectrum (Sub-6 GHz [Low Band and Mid Band] and mmWave), Network Architectures (Non-standalone and Standalone), Vertical (Residential, Enterprise/Corporate, Smart City, Industrial, Energy & Utility, Transportation & Logistics, Public Safety & Defense, Healthcare Facilities, Retail, Agriculture, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global 5G infrastructure market size was valued over USD 1.90 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 48.9% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for strengthened bandwidth connectivity with fast speed for many critical applications.
5G, as an advanced communication and next-generation technology, is designed to offer enhanced users experience in several domains including ultra-high seamless video calling, definition video, virtual reality, and augmented reality. In a bid to ensure sustainability in an intense competitive environment, various producers are constantly developed using technology modification to rise their overall operational efficiency, productivity, and reduce costs of various industries. The constant emphasis on enhancing energy management and monitoring, combined with the demand to have better control over the distribution network and energy generation present some key aspects of the overall market expansion. Among industries, the adoption of 5G technology is widely prevailed in the healthcare industry especially in developed economies, which has resulted to offer several advantages such as effective surgeries to the patients and safety remote diagnosis. Thus, to provide constant data connectivity in remote patient surgeries, the demand for next-generation technology and related infrastructure is constantly increasing.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is expected to slow down in the execution or installation of the 5G infrastructure due to emergency lockdown and other factors. The pandemic has brought the disturbance in further testing and trials required for examining the processing performance and stability of 5G standalone networks. The pandemic has additional effect on telecom regulatory authorities due to delaying their strategies of the 5G spectrum conveyance, thus, causing unfavorably impacting the market growth. For instance, governments in a few key countries such as Spain, France, and Australia have, for the time being, delayed the spectrum conveyance on various frequencies including mmWave and Sub-6 GHz. In addition, there have been a sharp decline in the exports of telecom for 5G new radios in major economies such as the U.S. and China that brought some vital challenges to the global market expansion.

Based on components, the global 5G infrastructure market is bifurcated into hardware and services. The hardware segment is further classified into radio access network, core network, and backhaul & transport while the services segment is further classified as consulting, implementation & integration, support & maintenance, and training & education. The hardware segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period as increasing competition among network service providers to reduce the overall infrastructure costs and network complexities. However, the services segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to increasing demand and rapidly increasing number of market players.
In terms of spectrum, the market is bifurcated into sub-6 GHz and mmWave. The sub-6 GHz segment is further sub-segmented into low band and mid band. The sub-6 GHz is estimated to expand at a robust growth rate in the coming years due to outstanding expenditure made by major communication service providers in acquiring mid-band and low- band frequencies. Meanwhile, the mmWave segment is anticipated to exhibit a high growth rate during the targeted period due to their enhanced bandwidth capacity with very low latency.
On the basis of network architectures, the global 5G infrastructure market is divided into non-standalone and standalone. The non-standalone segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to early rollout of the non-standalone network all over the world. On the other hand, the non-standalone segment is expected to account for a key market share in the coming years due to the growing demand for faster data speed across the verticals.
Based on verticals, the market is classified into residential, enterprise/corporate, smart city, industrial, energy & utility, transportation & logistics, public safety & defense, healthcare facilities, retail, agriculture, and others. The enterprise/corporate segment is attributed to register a high CAGR during the forecast period due to surging demand for uninterrupted virtual meetings, for faster data bandwidth for use cases, creating a smart workplace, and seamless connectivity during cloud-computing. Moreover, the healthcare facilities segment is projected to account for a key share of the market in the coming years owing to rising prevalence of chronicle disease globally.
In terms of regions, the global 5G infrastructure market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to deployment of 5G New radio infrastructure by major communication service providers. For instance, T-Mobile had made a deal agreement with Ericsson that was worth over USD 2.5 billion to support T-Mobile’s 5G network infrastructure in September 2018. The market of North America, however, is expected to constitute major share of the market in the coming years due to entry of new market players in the region.
