5G Thematic Report Overview
At the end of 2022, around 1.7 billion people had a 5G mobile subscription, accounting for more than 17% of total mobile subscriptions worldwide. Additionally, the figure is anticipated to increase significantly by 2027. There are signs that 5G is gaining traction, and enterprises are more willing to consider 5G as a primary access service. However, 5G still needs a compelling use case for the mass market. 5G has not yet taken off as many network operators had hoped, and the technology still needs a strong, mass-market business-to-consumer (B2C) use case beyond fixed wireless access (FWA).
The 5G thematic intelligence report provides the key trends impacting the growth of the 5G theme over the next 12 to 24 months. The report also includes a comprehensive industry analysis, including forecasts for 5G subscriptions, penetration, and service revenue to 2027.
5G-Key Trends
The main trends shaping the 5G industry are classified into three categories: technology trends, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory trends.
- Technology trends: The key technology trends impacting the 5G theme are fixed wireless access (FWA), standalone 5G, 5G spectrum auctions, private 5G networks, network virtualization and containerization, network slicing, massive MIMO, edge computing, network densification and the move to virtual RAN, small cells, and the impact of chinese equipment bans.
- Macroeconomic trends: The key macroeconomic trends explained in the report are a challenging macroeconomic environment, M&A, and trade war between the US and China.
- Regulatory trends: Spectrum auctions, concerns over radiation levels, mobile infrastructure sharing, and frameworks for 5G cybersecurity are a part of the regulatory trends impacting the 5G theme.
5G – Industry Analysis
The 5G market is anticipated to expand at a growth rate of more than 47% during the period 2022-2027. Subscriber growth will accelerate in the coming years, supported by increased spectrum availability and operator investment in network rollouts. The availability of affordable handsets will be key to driving adoption, particularly considering economic headwinds caused by rising inflation that will affect consumers’ disposable income. In the future, the development of the IoT industry, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, smart cities, and industrial automation, will help support 5G growth.
