The 5G Base Station market size is projected to reach US$ 65.70 billion by 2030 from US$ 20.53 billion in 2022. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.6% during 2022–2030. The adoption of revolutionary technologies such as advanced antenna systems (AAS) is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
The increased demand for industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) and edge computing, are important driving forces behind 5G Base Station adoption.
The 5G base station is the key equipment of the 5G network, which provides wireless coverage and realizes wireless signal transmission between the wired communication network and the wireless terminal. The architecture and shape of base stations directly affect the way 5G networks are deployed. With a rise in frequency, the attenuation during signal propagation increases, leading to a higher base station density of the 5G network. In May 2022, China built 1.6 million 5G base stations and became the first country in the world to build a large-scale 5G network based on the independent networking model. In 2022, China added 887,000 new 5G base stations. The number of 5G base stations reached ~2 million, accounting for more than 60% of the world's total.
With an increased demand for industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) and edge computing, there is a rising demand for private 5G networks and small cell base stations. A private 5G network is a dedicated Local Area Network (LAN) that provides enterprise, industrial, and other customers with increased internet access. Next-generation network services are projected to satisfy the requirement for crucial wireless communication for public safety, industrial operations, and critical infrastructure connectivity as they evolve. Additionally, the global market is growing due to the increasing need for ultra-reliable, low-latency connections for applications based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), including robots, collaborative industrial cameras, industrial cameras, and industrial sensors.
Telecommunication is one of the fastest-growing industries across the globe. The US government and various industries are rapidly adopting 5G technology to achieve its full potential in the country as well as promote digital business transformation. For instance, in September 2023, the US National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) is challenges associated with 5G communication infrastructure and operations through a US$ 25 million investment to advance five convergent teams. Also, in April 2023, the US Secretary of Commerce announced the launch of the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund, which will invest US$ 1.5 billion in the development of interoperable and open networks. With this funding, the future of 5G and next-gen wireless technology can be built by the US and its global allies and partners. Furthermore, governments of various countries across APAC are taking several initiatives and investing in 5G technology.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the 5G Base Station market analysis are component, frequency band platform, cell type and end user.
The geographic scope of the 5G Base Station market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America dominated the market in 2022. North American consumers are increasingly adopting 5G-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT gadgets. As a result, there is a growing need for 5G infrastructure to support these devices with high-speed data and low latency. Telecom operators in North America are engaged in fierce competition to provide the best 5G services. This competition drives the deployment of more 5G base stations to offer better coverage and faster speeds. For instance, in August 2023, Eastlink partnered with Nokia to enhance its 5G network across Canada. Under this partnership, Eastlink is modernizing its mobile network by using Nokia's AirScale portfolio, including 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) technology, to deliver fast speeds, unparalleled performance, and expanded network capacity.
