Furthermore, the emergence of a hyper-connected world is expected to increase the demand for 5G test equipment. Countries such as India and China, as well as other developing countries, are accompanying an increase in the use of connected devices, resulting in increased data traffic within networks. This necessitates the construction of secure, dependable, and efficient networks. For instance, Cavli, an IoT hardware solution provider platform, launched a significant 5G test network in India in February 2020, demonstrating the transformative impact of 5G technology, particularly in the domains of smart cities and industries globally.
5G applications are expanding at a significant rate due to the mounting usage of IoT and linked devices. The demand for 5G device testing is expected to increase as 5G becomes more widely available in various industries such as construction, security, entertainment, and automobiles. The rise of new applications and business models, combined with lower device costs, has facilitated Internet of Things (IoT) adoption and, as a result, a proliferation of connected devices. This includes connected automobiles, wearables, machinery, meters, and consumer electronics, all of which have contributed significantly to market growth. The introduction of IoT and machine-to-machine connections, which have been instrumental in driving the market, aligns with the ongoing Industrial Revolution 4.0, fostering cellular connectivity advancements across various industries. As a result, the growing telecommunications user base and global R&D activities are expected to drive the demand for 5G device testing, thereby propelling the 5G device testing market throughout the forecast period.
The "5G Device Testing Market" is segmented on the basis of component, end user, and geography. In terms of component, the market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. Based on end user, the market is segmented into telecom equipment manufacturers, original device manufacturers, telecom service providers, and others. Based on geography, it is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.
Based on components, the market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. The hardware segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing complexity of 5G networks, which require sophisticated testing equipment. Hardware is further divided into network analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and others. Network analyzers are useful for evaluating the signal and data transmission quality in 5G devices. They aid in the detection and resolution of signal distortions, interference, and anomalies, ensuring that devices meet stringent quality standards. The signal generators segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for 5G devices and the need to test them for performance and compliance with standards. A spectrum analyzer assesses the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency over the instrument's entire frequency range. The primary application is to determine the strength of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. An oscilloscope, also known as an oscillograph, is a device that graphically displays electrical signals and shows how they change over time. Engineers use oscilloscopes to test, verify, and debug their circuit designs by measuring electrical phenomena. Its primary function is to measure voltage waves. These waves are displayed on a graph, which can disclose a lot about a signal.
The Europe 5G Device Testing Market holds the second-largest market share. Europe is poised to see a surge in demand for 5G services, driven by the increasing need for faster data speeds in both commercial and residential applications. As part of the Europe 2020 strategy, a concerted effort is being made to ensure that high-speed broadband of more than 100 Mbps is made available to a substantial number of European countries. The strategy also sets an ambitious goal of achieving ultra-fast broadband adoption by 50% of European households by 2020. According to European Commission estimates, substantial investments totaling US$ 64.5 billion in 5G technology are expected to yield substantial economic benefits totaling US$ 129.0 billion per year.
This investment is likely to provide enormous job prospects, with an estimated 2.3 billion jobs being created in Europe by 2025. This increased demand is likely to generate a sizable market for 5G testing equipment. Furthermore, the German 5G Device Testing Market held the biggest market share, while the UK 5G Device Testing Market was the fastest-growing market in Europe.
