5G Testing Equipment Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing adoption of IoT and connected devices - It gets harder to prevent product connectivity issues as the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem's systems and devices get more complicated; therefore, to confirm call connection, cell selection/reselection, access control, and any mobility implications in NPN contexts, 5G IoT devices need to be properly tested with the help of 5G testing equipment. As per estimates, there will be more than 25 billion IoT devices in use globally by 2030.
  • Rising number of data centers - An important trend driving the development of a "decentralized small cell network of edge data centers to provide low cost, low latency support for high device density" use case is 5G, which puts more strain on resources and already-existing infrastructure in 5G data centers. For instance, in December 2023, there were more than 10,975 data center locations worldwide.
  • Surging need for testing in radios - Radios and other 5G infrastructure components with 5G testing equipment since testing sophisticated technologies is necessary for 5G New Radio (5G NR), which includes front-haul (CPRI/eCPRI), mid-haul (eCPRI/25GE/50GE), back-haul (100GE, 400GE), optical technologies (Single lambda/CWDM/DWDM), and higher bandwidth modulation methods.
  • Increasing chipset manufacturing - There will be a list of tests to be completed for each new gadget sporting a 5G chipset since it is necessary to ensure the quality and stability of 5G chipset, terminal, and module products.

Challenges

  • Exorbitant cost of 5G testing - More than just the purchase price, the sum paid for the hardware and software at installation is also involved in the cost of 5G testing equipment, which also requires 5G radios and antennas. These pieces of equipment need large investments from the telecom operators, which may have an impact on their capacity to maintain a stable financial position.
  • The deployment of 5G requires a significant financial outlay that includes hiring RF engineers with the necessary skills to handle 5G workloads and purchasing sophisticated 5G testing equipment.
  • The complexity associated with 5G technology may hamper 5G testing equipment market growth.
  • Challenges to ensure interoperability among several 5G equipment vendors

5G Testing Equipment Industry - Regional Synopsis

APAC Market Forecast

The 5G testing equipment market in the Asia Pacific is poised to hold a share of about 43% by the end of 2036. The market demand in the region is owing to the government's 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, and other 5G stakeholders, including industry, academia, service providers, R&D institutions, government bodies, and equipment manufacturers, at no cost and 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 lucrative demand for 5G testing equipment in the region.

North American Market Statistics

The North America region will also encounter enormous growth for the 5G testing equipment market in the coming years and will hold the second position, credited to the increasing number of internet users in this region. 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, driven by the rising acceptance of online services such as social media, streaming video, and e-commerce.
