5G Testing Equipment Market size is expected to reach USD 6 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of 5G testing equipment was USD 2 Billion. The reason behind the growth is impelled by the growing number of 5G smartphone subscriptions across the globe. The number of 5G mobile subscriptions is rising annually fueled by a rise in the budget segment's penetration, and the availability of 5G networks is increasing as they evolve.
For instance, the global count of 5G smartphone subscribers is expected to surpass two billion by the end of this year, having reached over 1 billion by the end of 2023.
The growing usage of artificial intelligence in equipment testing is believed to fuel the market growth. Testing may be automated using AI-powered technologies, which enables CSPs to test their 5G networks more quickly and effectively and also enables self-optimization and predictive analysis.

APAC Market Forecast
The 5G testing equipment market in Asia Pacific is predicted to account for the largest share of 43% by 2036 impelled by the government initiative to encourage the use of the 5G test bed. For instance, the Indian government has decided to provide the Indigenous 5G Test Bed to government-recognized start-ups, MSMEs, along with 5G stakeholders, including industry, academia, service providers, R&D institutions, government bodies, and equipment manufacturers at no cost for at a very low fee to test and expedite the development and deployment of their products in the network. The Indigenous 5G Test Bed offers an open 5G test bed where research and development teams from academia and industry in India can validate their products, prototypes, and algorithms, help operators plan their future networks, and offer the facilities of 5G networks for testing. This may create a huge demand for 5G testing equipment in the region.
North American Market Statistics
The North American 5G testing equipment market is estimated to be the second largest, during the forecast timeframe led by the growing number of internet users. More than 14% of adult Americans use the internet "only" on their smartphones these days since many of them find it impossible to live without it owing to the rising acceptance of online services such as social media, streaming video, and e-commerce. For instance, with more than 330 million internet users as of January 2024, the US has one of the biggest online markets in the world.
