5G System Integration Market

The global 5G system integration market size was valued at USD 7.32 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 39.55 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 25.7% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to growing demand for high-speed connectivity enabled enterprises and installation of advanced network structure to bring improved facilities to their customers as well as to reduce the total process cost.

5G system offers advanced wireless network that expands the efficiency of fourth generation (4G) in terms of speed, smoothness, and reliability of the service. 5G system integration is a method of integrating both physical and virtual components of enterprise with new upgraded applications or systems to work over the 5G network. This system provides the benefit of unlimited browsing capacity and short lag time along with offering the next generation gaming experience, fast streaming, digital high-definition content, and superior video quality.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has hampered the market growth. The pandemic led to disruption of global supply chain, delayed 5G network deployment for telecom operators, and many countries have postponed the spectrum auctions to deliver 5G services. Interruption in 5G network deployments is impacting the demand for 5G system integration services. The market is expected to recover soon as major economies allowed organizations to resume their work with limited workforce capacity and ease in lockdown due to easy restriction related to the virus worldwide.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Rising popularity of collaborative robots and industrial sensors, which require seamless network connectivity is key factor driving the market growth.
• Integrating on-premise applications with 5G technology for centralized working is projected to drive the market expansion during the forecast period.
• Lack of skilled and highly trained professional to manage and implant 5G system integration can hamper the market growth in projected timeline.
• Increasing demand of integration of cloud-based application with 5G systems presents a major security concern that acts as a major challenge of the market growth.
• Growing requirement for high bandwidth connectivity to establish seamless communication between machines service is projected to create significant growth opportunities for the market.
