Market Dynamics

Drivers

Growing number of internet of things devices

The high data speed is expected to be driven by the rising demand for edge computing and internet of things devices as well as the growing number of data generated by internet of things devices. 5G services will provide unprecedented data rates while also expanding real time data processing capabilities and enhancing the entire user experience. Thus, growing number of internet of things devices is driving the 5G services market growth.

Restraints

Small cell installations

One of the primary criteria for 5G installations is the cost effective and quick installations of tiny cell networks. Nevertheless, tiny cell installations in many parts of the globe face enormous financial, regulatory, and administrative burdens, further delaying the adoption of 5G technology. As a result, small cell installations are restricting the expansion of worldwide 5G services market.

Opportunities

Growing need for broadband networks

To meet the growing demand and need for mobile broadband services, network capacity must be raised by utilizing new frequency, resulting in widespread acceptance and adoption of the 5G core for the deployment of 5G technology for better mobile broadband services. As a result, growing need for broadband networks is creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of global 5G services market.

Challenges

High installation cost of 5G network

The needed throughput density, base station, and periodic interest rate pricing all have an impact on the cost of 5G infrastructure. For efficient and hyper small cell deployments, lowering these costs is critical. The network connectivity also requires high investments. IDC estimates that investments in smart city technology would reach $135 billion by 2021. Thus, high installation cost of 5G network is the biggest challenge for the growth of global 5G services market.

Recent Developments

  • China Mobile and Nokia collaborated in January 2021 to successfully experiment artificial intelligence powered RANs to estimate frequency traffic and identify network anomalies in order to improve the 5G-RAN architecture.
  • Nokia teamed with Setar, an Aruba-based communications provider, in December 2019 to enable a complete end to end 5G network transformation. Nokia will modernize core and data management systems as well as improve RAN access. In LAMEA, this is Nokia’s first end to end 5G deal.
  • T-Mobile, Nokia, and Ericsson announced a 5-multibillion dollar contract in January 2021 to continue evolving and covering the country’s largest 5G network.
