5G Base Station Market Analysis

5G Base Station Type (Small Cells, Macro Cells)

The small cell segment in the 5G base station market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share, which is further bifurcated into microcells, femtocells, and picocells. The various notable features, such as cost-effectiveness, easy installation, enhanced capacity, and performance of small cells, are all responsible for segment growth. Small cells are used in specific spaces to provide 5G networks with targeted coverage; these cells are described as radio access nodes that can have a maximum range of 10 meters to a few kilometers. Small cells provide denser 5G networks, and consumers can use bandwidth more efficiently.

Additionally, small cells have low radio frequency, hence, they are most suitable to be installed indoors. For instance, the deployment of small cells across the globe was estimated to be around 5000 in 2021 which was an increase from 2000 in 2018 and 1500 in 2017.

End-User Application (Telecommunication Companies, Cloud & Data Centers, Memory & Storage, Security Companies)

The telecommunication companies segment is set to garner a notable share shortly driven by higher demand for telecommunication services across the globe owing to rapid growth in work-from-home trends is also projected to hike the segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, as more people work from home, there is an increase in network traffic since these activities frequently include exchanging files and accessing large datasets, both of which need additional bandwidth to ensure a smooth flow of information. Higher bandwidth and lower latency requirements are met by 5G base stations.
