Small Cell 5G Network Market Analysis

The small cell 5G network market is segmented by cell type into femtocell, picocell, and microcell. Among these segments, the femtocell segment is anticipated to garner the largest market share by the end of 2021 primarily on account of the increasing usage of these network stations in homes and small businesses. Research from secondary sources predicts that by 2025, there will be more than 1.5 billion 5G subscriptions worldwide. Alternatively, the picocell section is speculated to grow with the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the ability of the cell type to provide extended coverage to indoor areas where the obstructions are significantly high, such as offices and shopping malls.

The market is also segmented on the basis of radio access technology into standalone and non-standalone configuration, out of which, the standalone segment is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to its enhanced efficiency features when compared with the non-standalone configuration. The standalone configuration offers a full range of 5G services, whereas the non-standalone configuration only supports 4G services.
