5G Base Station Market Analysis

The increased demand for industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) and edge computing, are important driving forces behind 5G Base Station adoption.

5G Base Station Market Overview

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.

5G Base Station Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increased Demand for Industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT) to Favor Market

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.

Rise in Government Initiatives in the Development of 5G Network

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.
