mmWave 5G Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product, Component, Use Case, License, Bandwidth, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global mmWave 5G Market is accounted for $ 3.12 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $ 8.99 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period. The short-range, high-frequency network technology known as mmWave, or "millimetre wave," is a prime instance of 5G's possibilities. mmWave 5G has the potential to improve the next-generation wireless communication. Since mmWave operates at a higher frequency, it can cover a smaller area with more capacity and bandwidth. Shopping malls, crowded inner-city train stations, and even stadiums are perfect locations for mmWave cells since they can send a signal up to a few hundred meters from the base station.

According to a mobility report, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has opened up nearly 11GHz of the mmWave spectrum for mobile broadband, which intends to support 5G cellular systems and wireless LANs.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Raising demand for 5 eMBB

The implementation of 5G mmWave spectrum will boost the amount of accessible capacity in mobile networks. In order to deliver high-speed broadband into homes and companies, it will support the 5G FWA service. Use cases for 5G eMBB include hotspots, internet availability everywhere, smart offices, large-scale events, and improved multimedia. New applications like 8K video streaming and fully immersive VR and AR will be made possible by eMBB. Additionally, operators will be able to size capacity to meet certain needs like high uplink capacity. The market demand is being fuelled by all of the preceding variables.

Restraint:

Exorbitant deployment costs

Carriers must set up several tiny cells in dense areas in order to maximize 5G mmWave coverage. As a result, scaling up the deployment of mmWave networks is more expensive. They are not ideal for suburban and rural regions because to their range restrictions. Widespread mmWave 5G network implementation will need a significant amount of underground fiber cable construction. This prevents the sector from expanding and forces carriers to rely on the current network infrastructure.

Opportunity:

Growing popularity of smart devices

Mobile data traffic has rapidly increased, creating new opportunities for mobile service providers as a result of the development of wireless data applications and the adoption of smart gadgets. Further economic expansion and new use cases in industries including smart grids, energy, smart manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, logistics, public safety, and many other sectors are anticipated to be made possible by 5G. The introduction of 5G with a strong network accelerated the market expansion.

Threat:

Poor penetration and connectivity

Real-world mmWave signals travel relatively short distances, and their network speeds vary greatly depending on range, signal blockers, and proximity to the nearest 5G tower or small cell. Carriers must construct several tiny cells in dense configurations to optimize coverage, which raises the cost of mmWave network deployment at scale. Despite being extremely fast, mmWave 5G networks require users to be within a few blocks of a 5G tower with no Line-of-Sight (LOS) impediments in order to receive mmWave signals. The possibility for mmWave 5G in the near future has been hampered as a result, raising some worries.

COVID-19 Impact:

Due to the economic devastation caused by the global quarantine implemented in reaction to the COVID-19 breakout, almost every business is in chaos. Businesses were compelled to make challenging financial and cost-cutting decisions in the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in order to maintain the flow of products. COVID-19 has had a significant influence on connectivity trends, mobile technology use cases, and the prospects for 5G deployment and acceptance. The COVID-19 problem has significantly altered the world economy and caused several regional and international 5G mmWave technology market activities to be interrupted.

The enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period:

The enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. One of the key components of 5G services is eMBB, which focuses on the high end-user data speed and system capacity. By allowing various business purposes, this will affect how the end user interacts with the system. When there is a huge volume of data traffic, eMBB offers high-bandwidth connections to numerous users in smart workplaces. In settings with a large number of users, it allows for high data rates. Mobile TV, real-time content, and continuous, high-definition video streaming are all features that eMBB can offer, which is what is causing the category to flourish.

The AR/VR segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period:

The AR/VR segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The next generation of mobile networks, 5G, has many advantages for AR and VR. 5G can offer more immersive and engaging AR/VR experiences because of its increased bandwidth and decreased latency. Rapid internet connections are necessary for AR/VR technologies to be effectively adapted to the economy, business, and daily life. AR/VR apps can offer real-time experiences without latency, jitter, or buffering over the mmWave 5G network, which may improve the user experience. Thus, the expansion of the segment is being fuelled by these advantages.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The US and Canada are the leading countries in the region. These countries have sustainable and well-established economic growth. This region has the presence of key market players such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile and they are planning to install the mmWave 5G to offer seamless connectivity to their end users there is large-scale technological adoption by the people in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The top countries contributing to the mmWave 5G market in this region include the US and Canada. These countries are empowering the well established leaders to increasingly invest in R&D activities, thereby contributing to the development of mmwave 5G market.
