5G Fixed Wireless Access Market Outlook:
5G Fixed Wireless Access Market was valued at USD 57.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1,666.1 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 40% from 2026 to 2035. In 2026, the industry size of 5G fixed wireless access is assessed at USD 80.6 billion.
The rapid advancements in 5G technology is a key factor expected to fuel the global market growth during the forecast period. The supply chain for 5G FWA encompasses components such as antennas, network equipment, and semiconductors. Thus, the U.S. government has identified the need to strengthen the telecommunications supply chain, which was outlined in the 2021-2024 Quadrennial Supply Chain Review by the National Archives. The review highlights the requirement to invest in critical sectors to offset the impact of geopolitical tensions and any breakdown in trade relationships.
In relation to pricing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) highlighted changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for telecommunications services. These include the transition from 4G to 5G networks. Furthermore, the CPI has recorded changes in wireless telephone plans, indicating that the quality adjustment has not reflected the ongoing shift to 5G. Additionally, at the investment front, the large-scale allocation of funding by the U.S. government to support the deployment of 5G infrastructure bodes well for prospects. For instance, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program aims to broaden broadband access, including 5G FWA, to remote areas, bolstering home internet and mobile broadband services.
A prime example is the USD 42.45 billion BEAD Program under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which provides funding to all 56 U.S. states and territories for high-speed internet planning, infrastructure deployment, and adoption initiatives. This large-scale investment is projected to drive the overall market forward, positioning it as a key enabler of universal broadband access and digital inclusion. The market analysis predicts a positive outlook against the backdrop of these initiatives.
