The 5G infrastructure market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from$27.20 billion in 2024 to $35.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the growing adoption of virtual networking, increasing demand for process automation, rising user expectations for service quality, and a heightened need for high-speed networks.
The 5G infrastructure market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to$97.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for connected devices, rising preference for 5G networks, expanding internet penetration, and the growing deployment of 5G infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include the advancement of telecommunication technologies, the adoption of 5G-enabled technologies, integration with edge computing, and continued innovation in 5G networks.
The growing demand for connected devices is expected to drive the expansion of the 5G infrastructure market in the coming years. Connected devices refer to physical objects that can communicate with one another or with a central system via the internet or other networks. The demand for these devices is rising due to the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), which enables the collection, sharing, and analysis of data, making devices smarter, more efficient, and capable of automation. 5G infrastructure supports connected devices by providing ultra-fast, low-latency, and high-capacity communication, ensuring real-time data transfer and seamless IoT integration across multiple industries. For example, in September 2024, IoT Analytics GmbH, a Germany-based organization, reported that by the end of 2023, there were 16.6 billion connected IoT devices, marking a 15% increase from 2022. Additionally, the number of connected IoT devices is expected to reach 40 billion by 2030. As a result, the growing demand for connected devices is expected to significantly propel the 5G infrastructure market.
Key players in the 5G infrastructure market are focused on technological innovations, such as advancements in 5G network architecture, to enhance network performance, reduce latency, and support high-speed data transmission for applications such as IoT, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation. 5G network architecture is a scalable framework that includes the core network (5GC), radio access network (RAN), edge computing, and network slicing, enabling high-speed, low-latency, and efficient connectivity for a wide range of applications. For instance, in November 2024, Viettel Group, a Vietnam-based telecom company, launched the world's first Open RAN (O-RAN) 5G network using Qualcomm Technologies' 5G RAN platforms. This innovation offers several advantages, including increased competition, reduced costs, improved innovation, and better network performance by allowing operators to select components from multiple vendors. The approach also enhances scalability, energy efficiency, and customer experience by providing more flexible and interoperable network architectures.
In June 2022, Qualcomm Inc., a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer, acquired Cellwize Wireless Technologies Pte Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is aimed at accelerating the adoption of 5G, enhancing Qualcomm's role in 5G radio access network (RAN) innovation, and driving network infrastructure innovation at the edge by leveraging Cellwize's cloud-native RAN automation and management capabilities. Cellwize Wireless Technologies Pte Ltd., based in Israel, specializes in providing 5G infrastructure solutions.
