The telecom market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2970.7 billion in 2023 to $3106.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to the increasing count of internet users, a surge in the adoption of 5G networks, and a rise in the adoption of cloud computing, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The telecom market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3898.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The expansion anticipated in the forecast period can be ascribed to the increasing penetration of smartphones, a rise in e-commerce activities, growing urbanization, and government initiatives, all of which will contribute to the overall growth. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include a concentration on deploying 5G to support emerging technologies, the integration of Digital Twin as a Service (DTaaS) to create virtual replicas of telecom infrastructure, a focus on manufacturing new hardware to enhance telecommunication speeds, the launch of new satellites for global connectivity and advanced communication services, the utilization of AI and ML for improved customer experience, leveraging cloud technologies to enhance scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, as well as strategic partnerships and collaborations among market players.
The adoption of IoT technology by manufacturing and transportation services companies is expected to drive the telecom market in the forecast period. IoT, a network of physical objects such as devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, enables these objects to collect and exchange data. As an example, Microsoft and Rolls-Royce have announced a partnership focused on future Rolls-Royce intelligent engines, integrating Microsoft Suite into its service solutions to enhance its digital capabilities. The adoption of IoT technology, particularly in areas such as Smart Grid for managing electricity consumption, is anticipated to increase the demand for telecom services.
The anticipated growth of the telecom market is further fueled by the increasing penetration of the internet. Internet penetration, a measurement expressing the percentage of the total population with access to and usage of the internet, presents numerous opportunities for telecom companies to expand services, enhance infrastructure, and boost revenue, contributing to societal and economic development. For instance, in September 2023, Broadband Search reported that an estimated 93.79% of the United States population, around 311.3 million individuals, uses the internet. Therefore, the rising penetration of the internet serves as a driving force for the telecom market.
Internet TV is gaining widespread acceptance and preference among customers in both developed and developing markets. The traditional pay-TV industry is encountering intense competition from providers of online video streaming services. Low-cost video streaming service providers pose a significant threat to the traditional pay-TV business model, compelling these service providers to offer Internet TV services to their subscribers. For instance, in November 2021, fuboTV Inc., a sports-first live TV streaming platform, announced its acquisition of France's live TV streaming company, Molotov SAS, aiming to expand its global business and launch an interactive sports and entertainment streaming platform on a global scale.
