Market Trends of 5G Enterprise Industry
Adoption of 5G Enterprise in IT and Telecom Sector to Drive the Market Growth
- With the 5G networks rolling out, telecom players and market vendors have been gearing toward this shift. Major telecom service providers are upgrading their network to 5G, which primarily relies on denser arrays of small antennas to provide ultra-high network and data speeds.
- According to the 2022 Ericsson Mobility Report, there will be 4.4 billion 5G subscribers by the end of 2027. This is almost 48% of all mobile subscriptions around the world.Ericsson says that the number of 5G users with a 5G-capable device has grown by 70 million to about 690 million around the world.
- In May 2022, BT and Ericsson announced a new partnership to make commercial 5G private networks available in the UK market. A multi-year agreement between the two companies will allow BT to market and sell next-generation mobile network technology products to corporations and institutions in industries like manufacturing, the military, education, retail, healthcare, transportation, and logistics.
- The market would witness demand for voice-over 5G services, evolving from non-standalone to standalone 5G. It will allow operators to deliver high-quality voice service without relying on VoLTE (Voice over LTE) or an LTE anchor.
- The market is witnessing high adoption across the developed economies across the globe. For instance, US private service providers collaborate with cities to roll out 5G pilot networks and innovation labs.
North America Holds Maximum Market Share
- Cloud-based enterprise applications are thriving in the North American region. The cloud-based solutions depend on internet connectivity to function in the hosted environment, and with 5G enabling much faster internet speed, it may further enhance the connectivity experience. The increase in demand for advanced technologies, such as machine-to-machine communication, connected cars, and artificial intelligence, is highest in the region compared to other regions. Hence, it is anticipated to offer massive opportunities for the 5G enterprise market to grow.
- Ericsson says that by the end of 2025, there will be 318 million 5G mobile subscriptions, which is more than 80% of all mobile subscriptions in North America. This may increase the demand for 5G networks even more.
- So, to meet the needs of future 5G services in terms of capacity, coverage, and efficiency, network operators in the United States are investing in their networks to get the best performance at the lowest cost per bit. They are doing this by using new technologies like network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) to make their networks as efficient as possible.
- Low-latency communication is important for the on-board computers of self-driving cars to be able to let other cars, obstacles, traffic lights, and other cars know they are there and react to them.5G-powered connected cars give mobile operators a new way to make money. Most US operators already offer platforms for connected cars, and AT&T is the leader in this field.
As IoT sensors become more common, it is also thought that 5G will make the retail supply chain more open and efficient. According to the GSMA, the North American IoT industry will have 5.9 billion connections by 2025.
