ngenious e-brain forecasts the global 5G infrastructure market size to grow from USD 2 billion in 2019 to USD 24 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 53.9% during the forecast period. Major growth drivers are increasing demand for 5G infrastructure, increasing demand for mobile data services and growth in mobile data traffic, growth of IoT based technologies, the rising importance of software implementation in a communication network, growing adoption of virtual networking architecture, and increasing m2m connections across various industries. Edge computing, smart grid communication, and massive machine-type communication in 5G are some of the critical opportunities for market expansion. However, intercell interference and technological design complexity for power dissipation act as challenges for market growth. Furthermore, delays in standardization in spectrum allocation inhibit the growth of the market.

In this report, the 5G Infrastructure market is categorized by type of core network technology, including network function virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN). In which, NFV holds a significant segment of the total 5G core network technology market.

Over the past decade, the size and complexity of network infrastructure have grown rapidly, so solutions that manage the entire network are simple and effective. The NFV solution solves these problems directly to operators by providing greater flexibility in traffic management, thereby improving network efficiency. Therefore, increasing demand for advanced network management systems is driving the growth of the global NFV market.

The type of network architecture further categorizes the 5G infrastructure market. In which, 5G NR Non-Standalone (LTE Combine) holds the more significant segment of the total 5G infrastructure market by network architecture. However, the 5G standalone market is expected to cover a major sector in the coming years.

5G market has accelerated since the end of 2017. The first deployment of a 5G network is the NSA deployment, focusing on improving mobile broadband to provide higher data bandwidth and reliable connectivity and NSA must service early deployment of 5G networks and devices — this means that the current 4G infrastructure will support 5G networks. 5G will want to be the first service provider to provide speed, which will start from the service provider NSA. After 5G coverage is established, standalone 5G will be implemented.
In this study, the 5G Infrastructure market is also categorized by operational frequency (Sub 6GHz and Above 6GHz) and communication infrastructure (Macro and Microcell) in which current and future market trends are covered.

5G plays an indirect role in the control of the COVID-19 outbreak due to its high speed, massive bandwidth, and low latency, and it enables flawless communications in emergency and hospital centers.
