5G Network Equipment Market Will Reach US$ 18,2 Billion by 2025

According to the report from Persistence Market Research, the global 5G network equipment market is expected to witness a market value of over US$ 1,1 billion in 2019 and increase to more than US$ 18,2 billion in just six years. The market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR of 59.3% during the forecast period 2019-2025.

5G is yet to be introduced in the global market. However, early involvement of companies in the market can benefit them in many ways and network equipment manufacturers would have developed mature products before the commercial deployment of 5G commences. A new research report depicts the clear scenario of the upcoming 5G equipment market and the opportunities that are likely to emerge in the coming years.

There are various components in the 5G equipment market including small cells, macro cells, AAU, RRU, BBU, etc. Among these components, the global market is expected to witness an explosion in the number of small cells. The macro cells that were in use till now, provide radio coverage to a wide geographical area and small cells were connected and dependent on macro cells.

The major challenge in the deployment of a dense network of small cells pertains to a significant rise in the capital expenditure. These expenses would be harder to recover from telecom subscribers, considering the cost consciousness prevalent among consumers. These networks are also required to be energy efficient, weight efficient and compact.

"Most of the developments being carried out around the commercialization of 5G involves the use of mmWave bands, as a huge spectrum is available for telecom usage at mmWave. However, the propagation at mmWave is characterized with poor performance in Non Line-of-sight networks, and also faces signal loss owing to atmospheric factors.
