5G Base Station Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Utilization of IoT Devices - IoT devices are pieces of hardware that are used to transmit data over the internet. These devices are the main application of 5G base stations since all the smart devices such as smart wearable devices require a 5G connection to communicate with one another. For instance, it was anticipated that there are poised to be around 25 billion IoT devices by 2030 generating more than 80 zettabytes of data worldwide.
Rising Usage of Consumer Electronics - The increased adoption of a broader range of consumer electronics in the household sector has massively increased market growth. In 2024, the consumer electronics industry is expected to grow by 1.3% in terms of volume.

Challenges

Stringent Regulatory Protocols to Impact Market Growth - The power consumption by a typical 5G base station is almost twice that of the 4G networks. Moreover, high investment along with strict regulatory policies about the deployment of 5G base stations are some of the major factors that are anticipated to act as barriers to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
