5G FWA CPE Global Market Report 2025

5G fixed wireless access (FWA) customer premises equipment (CPE) is a device that provides internet connectivity to homes or businesses via 5G networks, bypassing traditional wired connections. Acting as a wireless modem/router, it receives 5G signals from a nearby base station and converts them into Wi-Fi or Ethernet for user devices. 5G FWA CPE offers high-speed broadband in areas where fiber or cable infrastructure is limited.

The primary types of 5G FWA CPE deployments are outdoor and indoor devices. Outdoor devices are installed outside buildings to capture stronger signals and ensure stable internet connectivity. These devices are available in two categories, white-label and branded, and are used across both commercial and residential sectors.

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 rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This 5G FWA CPE market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The 5G fwa cpe market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.67 billion in 2024 to $3.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of remote work, rising demand for connectivity in rural areas, growing demand for high speed internet connectivity, increasing adoption of connected devices, and increased usage of innovative technologies.

The 5G fwa cpe market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing popularity of smart homes, rising focus on enhanced user experience, rising demand in residential and commercial sectors, increasing urbanization, and growing need for reliable connectivity. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards remote work, strategic collaboration and launches, integration of AI and advanced analytics, integration of internet of things (IoT), and advancements in wireless modules.

The forecast of 17.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% 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 by increasing consumer prices for home 5G routers, as manufacturing costs rise for components imported from Taiwan and Thailand. 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 growing demand for high-speed internet is anticipated to boost the expansion of the 5G FWA CPE market. High-speed internet facilitates seamless communication, supports data-heavy applications, and enhances digital experiences for both residential and commercial users. This surge in demand is fueled by increased reliance on digital services, remote work, online education, streaming, cloud computing, and the widespread growth of IoT and smart technologies. 5G FWA CPE offers a wireless alternative to traditional broadband, providing high-speed internet without the need for extensive fiber infrastructure, making it a viable option for urban, suburban, and rural areas. For example, in August 2024, Uswitch Limited, a UK-based price comparison website, reported that the median internet speed in the UK had reached 73.21 Mbps as of 2023, showing an increase of over 12% compared to September 2022. Thus, the rising demand for high-speed internet is driving the growth of the 5G FWA CPE market.

Companies in the 5G FWA CPE market are focusing on advancements such as improved network receivers to boost signal reception, enhance network reliability, and deliver faster internet speeds. A network receiver captures and processes network signals to ensure smooth connectivity. For example, in February 2024, Nokia Corporation, a telecommunications company based in Finland, introduced a new 5G mmWave receiver aimed at increasing the capacity of fixed wireless access networks. This outdoor 5G receiver is designed to expand broadband coverage across urban, suburban, and rural regions. By utilizing the cost-effective mmWave spectrum, the receiver allows operators to provide reliable, high-speed wireless broadband in areas where deploying fiber networks is challenging.

In February 2023, Cisco Systems Inc., a technology company based in the US, teamed up with T-Mobile to offer advanced 5G-powered gateways for businesses. This partnership utilizes T-Mobile's high-speed, reliable 5G network to deliver scalable and secure networking solutions. Through this collaboration, businesses can optimize their operations with cloud-managed services. T-Mobile, a telecommunications company based in Germany, provides mobile and wireless network services.
