5G Technology Market Segmentation:

Communication Infrastructure Segment Analysis

The macro cell segment is poised to hold a leading revenue 5g technology market share of 42.3% throughout the forecast timeline. The macro cells have emerged as an integral part of the 5G networks, especially in urban and suburban deployments. Macro cells solve a key pain point for end users by supporting high user densities, aligning with 5G deployment strategies. The surging demand for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services is impacted by the increasing demand for applications such as augmented reality and high-definition video streaming, necessitating the deployment of macro cells. For instance, in October 2021, the FCC auctioned the mid-band spectrum to accelerate 5G rollout in the U.S., which in turn impacted the macro cell infrastructure expansion.

Network Technology Segment Analysis

The NFV segment is poised to account for 38.6% revenue 5g technology market share by the end of 2035. A key facet is NFV being able to decouple network functions from proprietary hardware, which allows them to run as software on standardized servers. Another factor driving the application of NFV is the surge in data traffic associated with the proliferation of IoT devices. Additionally, the rise in deployment of VFNs by telecom operators in a bid to reduce operational costs boosts the demand for NFVs.
