Key Segmentation Analysis

By Communication Infrastructure

Radio Access Network (RAN) dominated the global 5G equipment market with a significant 60.4% share in 2025, driven by widespread deployment of macro and small cells, massive MIMO, and beamforming technologies. The Core Network segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR from 2026 to 2035, fueled by the transition from non-standalone to standalone 5G architecture. 

By Equipment Type

Macro Cell Equipment held the dominant position in the 5G equipment market with a 32.3% share in 2025 due to its role in delivering wide-area coverage and supporting the early phases of 5G deployment. Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is expected to witness the fastest CAGR from 2026 to 2033, driven by its ability to dramatically boost network capacity and spectral efficiency.

By Frequency Band

The Sub-6 GHz frequency band dominated the 5G equipment market with a 62.4% share in 2025, driven by its balanced capabilities in coverage and capacity. The Above 6 GHz (mmWave) segment is expected to record the fastest CAGR from 2026 to 2033, as demand grows for ultra-high-speed, low-latency communication in densely populated and high-traffic environments.

By End-Use Industry

Telecom operators led the global 5G equipment market with a 57.3% share in 2025, driven by large-scale investments in nationwide 5G infrastructure rollouts.  Enterprises, especially those in smart manufacturing and smart cities, are expected to witness the fastest CAGR from 2026 to 2033, as they adopt private 5G networks to enable real-time automation, intelligent monitoring, and IoT integration.

Regional Insights:

Asia Pacific dominated the global 5G equipment market with a 37.5% share in 2025, supported by rapid infrastructure development, large-scale expenditures, and aggressive 5G rollouts by telecom operators.

North America is predicted to develop at the fastest CAGR of 24.3% from 2026 to 2035 in the 5G equipment market, led by rapid advancements in telecommunications infrastructure, high enterprise adoption, and government-backed spectrum availability.

Integration Challenges and Spectrum Disparities May Impede Market Expansion Globally

The complexity of network integration and compatibility across different manufacturers and legacy systems (one of the primary limitations in the 5G Equipment Market) Maintaining performance, signaling handovers, and continuity when migrating between 4G and 5G is a major area of technical challenge for both capabilities. Furthermore, the discrepancy between global and domestic spectrum policies and practices can cause delays and inefficiencies in deployments, particularly in emerging nations.
