Segmentation Analysis

The global 5G infrastructure market is sectored into the component, spectrum, network architecture, vertical, and region.   

In terms of components, the global 5G infrastructure market is sectored into hardware and services segments. Furthermore, the hardware segment, which accrued more than 48% of the global market share in 2022, is predicted to maintain its segmental dominion in the projected timespan. The segmental growth in the forecasting years can be subject to the installation of 5G RAN along with base stations. The surging trend of installing centralized RAN is increasing significantly among the network solutions providers for reducing infrastructural costs, thereby driving segmental growth.  

Spectrum-wise, the 5G Infrastructure industry across the globe is divided into Sub-6 GHz and mmWave segments. Moreover, the mmWave segment, which gathered a major share of the global industry in 2022, is forecast to register the fastest CAGR in the forecast timeframe.

The growth of the segment over 2023-2030 can be owing to high-band frequencies of mmWave that will provide improved bandwidth capacity having low latency. For instance, the federal communication commission launched a large number of mmWave frequencies with a view of providing low-latency connections for self-driven vehicles.

On the basis of the network architecture, the global 5G infrastructure market is divided into standalone and non-standalone segments. Moreover, the non-standalone segment, which accumulated the largest share of the global market revenue in 2022, is forecast to dominate the network architecture segment over the forecast timeframe.

The growth of the segment over 2023-2030 can be owing to the large-scale rolling out of non-standalone networks across the globe. For instance, AT&T and China Mobile Limited have installed a 5G non-standalone network for AR & VR gaming and UHD videos for improving seamless streaming.

Based on the vertical, the global 5G infrastructure industry is divided into residential, smart city, enterprise, industrial, energy & utility, transportation & logistics, public safety & defense, healthcare, retail, and farming segments.
