The global Small Cell 5G Network market size is expected to be worth around US$ 28,476.3 million by 2028, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.
The global Small Cell 5G Network market size was valued at US$ 310.7 million in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 77.5% during forecast period 2021 to 2028.
Growth Factors
The market attained a volume of 215 thousand units in 2019. Significant growth in the global mobile network traffic due to the massive adoption of smartphones across the globe has raised the rapid demand for high-speed data bandwidth among consumers. To deliver uninterrupted enhanced internet connectivity to consumers, Communication Service Providers (CSP) must opt for network densification and low-cost network solutions. This, in turn, is estimated to fuel the deployment of small cell 5G networks globally over the forecast period.
Significantly growing demand for high bandwidth capacity across a wide range of use cases such as accessing Ultra-high Definition (UHD) videos, cloud-based AR/VR gaming, and continual HD video meetings are expected to drive adoption of small-cell 5G network during the forecast period. Besides, to cater to the robust demand for improving data coverage and capacity in several crowded public places such as stadiums, airports, and malls, the deployment of small cell 5G networks is expected to see considerable growth over the forecast period. Moreover, the rising trends for telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and remote surgeries across key countries such as the U.S., China, the U.K., and Japan, have surged the demand for faster data bandwidth in a bid to deliver unified connectivity in such critical applications. Also, the massive investments by federal governments in deploying advanced technologies across healthcare facilities is further anticipated to boost the installation of small cell 5G network globally.
Report Highlights
In terms of volume, the femtocell segment dominated the market with a share exceeding 60.01% in 2019. This is attributed to its increasing demand to attain unified bandwidth coverage for several enclosed applications such as malls, homes, offices, and hospitals. Small cells are mainly available into three categories, including femtocells, picocells, and microcells, based on their different ranges. The covering bandwidth ranges of femtocells, picocells, and microcells encompass up to 50 meters, up to 250 meters, and up to 3 Kilometers, respectively.
In terms of value, the non-standalone (NSA) network model dominated the market with a share exceeding 85.01% in 2019. This is attributed to the early rollouts of the non-standalone network across the globe. The non-standalone network is generally deployed in integration with the existing legacy network infrastructure. Besides, several key service providers such as AT&T, Inc, Verizon Communications, and China Mobile Limited, have firstly deployed a 5G NSA network model catering to primary uses cases such as cloud-based AR/VR gaming and UHD videos.
virtualized network architecture dominated the market with a share of more than 55.01% in 2019. This is attributed to a robust deployment of small cell 5G network with a centralized baseband unit controllable architecture. This helps service providers to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase the overall flexibility of the network by managing virtually all the small cell base stations. Besides, the introduction of Software-defined Networking (SDN) technology and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to improve the operational efficiency of the RAN network is further expected to augment the segment growth from 2020 to 2027.
Outdoor small cells are primarily installed for public networks in suburban, urban, or rural areas. The swiftly growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across many applications such as autonomous vehicles and vehicles to infrastructure (V2I) connectivity have generated the need for high-speed data capacity. Additionally, the deployment of lamp post small cells is gaining popularity in rapidly building smart cities across the globe. This, in turn, is estimated to fuel the growth of the outdoor segment at a CAGR of 87.5% from 2020 to 2027.
mmWave frequencies are high band frequencies that provide enhanced bandwidth capacity with very low latency. These spectrum bands would be mainly helpful in applications where ultra-reliable connectivity is a prerequisite, especially in remote patient surgeries and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) connectivity. Additionally, few federal governments across developed economies have released mmWave spectrum bands to provide enhanced data services. For instance, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) released several mmWave frequencies, including 24.25-24.45 GHz, 47.2-48.2 GHz, 24.75-25.25 GHz, and 38.6-40 GHz, among others with a view of delivering ultra-reliable connectivity for applications such as autonomous vehicles. Countries like Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Italy, have released mmWave frequencies for improved data capacity. Thus, increased focus to release mmWave frequencies by key federal governments across many countries is expected to augment the mmWave segment growth from 2020 to 2027.
In terms of value, corporates/ enterprises dominated the market with a share of nearly 60.01% in 2019. This is attributed to the growing deployment of small cell 5G networks across large as well as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across the globe. This 5G RAN network helps enterprises cater to the demand for massive data capacity and coverage needs at a very affordable cost. Moreover, small cell 5G networks also help organizations to utilize the existing broadband infrastructure to deploy these next-generation networks. Besides, initially, the small cell 5G networks have been seen a colossal adoption across residential applications such as, cloud gaming, and home broadband.
With the presence of large service providers such as AT&T Inc.; Sprint Corporation; T-Mobile; and Verizon Communications; the U.S. market is also expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. A multitude of investments made in deploying small cell network by the afore-mentioned companies is anticipated to help the market reach USD 7.05 billion by 2027. For instance, in September 2018, T-Mobile signed an agreement with Ericsson a worth of USD 3.5 million to support T-Mobile’s 5G network infrastructure. Also, in this deal, Ericsson will provide 5G New Radio (NR) hardware and software to T-Mobile for offering high-speed internet.
