Massive MIMO Global Market Report 2025

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is a wireless communication approach characterized by base stations equipped with numerous antenna components, aiming to enhance spectrum and energy efficiency. This technology offers several advantages, including highly focused range utilization, the elimination of performance bottlenecks, support for a greater number of users per cell, and an overall improvement in the end-user experience, particularly in densely crowded locations.

The primary technologies associated with massive MIMO include LTE Advanced, LTE Advanced Pro, and 5G. LTE Advanced denotes an upgraded LTE standard designed to enhance the reliability, capacity, and speed of traditional LTE networks. Massive MIMO implementations involve various types of antennas, such as 8t8r, 16t16r, 32t32r, 64t64r, and 128t128r, and even higher configurations. Additionally, different spectrums, such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Time Division Duplexing (TDD), and others, play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of massive MIMO systems.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.

This massive MIMO market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The massive mimo market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $8.12 billion in 2024 to $11.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise of 4g technology, demand for increased network capacity, spectrum availability, early market adoption, and research and development initiatives.

The massive mimo market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5g rollout and expansion, IoT and industry 4.0, network densification, demand for enhanced mobile broadband, and network virtualization. Major trends in the forecast period include massive MIMO in mm-wave bands, beamforming advancements, network slicing for customization, energy efficiency improvements, and open ran (radio access network).

The forecast of 36.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through constrained availability of 5G infrastructure components, largely supplied by China and Finland, which could hinder the rollout of next-generation wireless networks. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The escalating demand for high-speed and dependable mobile communication is anticipated to drive the growth of the massive MIMO market in the foreseeable future. High-speed and reliable mobile communication denotes a wireless network that provides consistent connectivity and rapid data transfer rates to facilitate seamless mobile communication. Massive MIMO, as an advanced technology in mobile communication, is pivotal in meeting the requirements for faster data transfer rates, increased network capacity, and an enhanced user experience. For instance, a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in July 2023 highlighted a 17% growth in data usage per mobile broadband subscription in OECD countries in 2022. The overall volume of mobile data usage per subscription doubled in four years, reaching 10.4 gigabytes per month in 2022 from 4.7 GB. Consequently, the rising demand for high-speed and reliable mobile communication is a driving force behind the growth of the massive MIMO market.

The increasing penetration of 5G is expected to further propel the growth of the massive MIMO market. 5G, the fifth-generation wireless technology, represents the latest evolution in cellular networks, offering significant improvements in speed, responsiveness, and connectivity compared to previous generations such as 4G. Massive MIMO plays a pivotal role in facilitating 5G penetration by substantially enhancing network capacity and data transfer rates. This enables the efficient management of the escalating data traffic and diverse connectivity demands in next-generation wireless communication systems. For example, a report from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson in May 2023 forecasts a substantial increase in 5G mobile subscriptions, reaching 4.624 billion in 2028, compared to 1.481 billion in 2023. Therefore, the increasing penetration of 5G stands as a key driver behind the growth of the massive MIMO market.

Product innovations stand out as a significant trend gaining traction in the massive MIMO market, with major companies adopting innovative solutions to fortify their market positions. An example of this trend is evident in Nokia, a Finland-based telecommunications company, which introduced Habrok in February 2023. Habrok is an AirScale large MIMO radio of the latest generation, deployed across various mobile operators and business networks. Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, Habrok radios deliver high radio frequency output power and provide scalable capacity for both single and multi-carrier performance.

Major companies in the massive MIMO market are increasingly focusing on the introduction of advanced wireless communication technologies, such as dual-band Massive MIMO, to gain a competitive advantage. For example, in February 2023, Nokia Corporation, a telecommunications company based in Finland, unveiled Habrok, its latest generation of AirScale massive MIMO radios, during the Mobile World Congress 2023. This new radio is part of Nokia's ongoing initiative to enhance the performance of 5G networks for mobile operators and enterprises worldwide. Powered by ReefShark, the Habrok radios provide improved energy efficiency and advanced performance in a compact design. They are engineered to boost network capacity, speed, and power consumption, supporting multiple frequency bands to suit both urban and rural deployments.
