Global 5G Radio Access Network Market is valued approximately at USD 17.95 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11.4% over the forecast period 2023-2030. The 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is a fundamental component of 5G wireless infrastructure, connecting user devices such as smartphones and IoT devices to the core network. It consists of base stations or radio units that are installed on roofs or cell towers and use cutting-edge technology such as beamforming and massive MIMO to increase coverage and capacity. For flexibility and scalability, the 5G RAN uses both distributed and centralized designs, integrating network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN). It employs a variety of frequency bands, including low-band, mid-band and high-band spectrum, and offers applications with extremely low latency and high throughput. Integration with the core network enables seamless communication and service delivery, catering to diverse need for 5G adoption across industries. The rising demand for low-latency bandwidth connections and intensified research and development efforts by key organizations. Furthermore, the extensive deployment of 5G radio access networks (RAN) featuring numerous small cells and macro cell base stations on a global scale is significantly boosting market expansion throughout the forecast period.
Additionally, the rapid proliferation of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) demands reliable and scalable connectivity solutions that 5G RAN is a prominent factor, which, in turn, propels the market demand across the globe. These solutions allow billions of devices to be connected and enable smart city, smart grid, and industrial automation applications. According to Statista, in 2021, approximately 11.28 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices were recorded, which is anticipated to increase and is likely to reach 29.42 billion IoT connected devices by 2030. Therefore, these aforementioned factors are soaring the market demand across the globe. Moreover, the rising technological advancement in radio access technologies, as well as the growing initiatives and investments by government to promote 5G deployment and infrastructure development, presents various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high infrastructure costs and the rise in security and privacy of data on 5G networks are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global 5G Radio Access Network Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the presence of several manufacturers such as Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and Samsung, alongside substantial investments directed toward constructing automated factories. Moreover, significant investment in acquiring 5G spectrum in pivotal countries such as South Korea, China, India, Australia, and Japan are poised to drive regional expansion. Additionally, the gradual rise in the number of small and medium IT companies in emerging nations such as India is anticipated to accelerate the adoption of 5G services in the region. Furthermore, the region’s untapped potential is fostering new investment opportunities for mobile network operators and communication service providers. Whereas, North America is expected to grow at the significant CAGR over the forecast years. The region boasts a highly developed 5G infrastructure and a robust research and development base, which are significantly propelling the market demand. North America has expedited the implementation of advanced 5G technologies with a well-established 5G infrastructure, supported by substantial government investments in 5G rollouts and deployments across the U.S. and Canada.
