Report Outlook

The global 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) market was valued at USD 389.05 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 99.3% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to the rising demand for high speed internet connectivity coupled with superior broadband coverage that has minimal power consumption and latency. In addition, the growing adoption of superior technologies including, Internet of Things (IoT)/ machine-to-machine (M2M) millimetre-wave deployed across the 5G FWA also contributes to the global market growth.

Since a long time, 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) has remained a highly interesting growth prospects for the telecommunications service providers. Actually, it can be considered as an alternative to fixed line broadband for providing high-speed data connectivity to the rural and far flung areas where laying fibre is very expensive. Thus, the introduction of advanced 5G technology is increasingly becoming highly competitive with several telecommunication service providers in the race to provide optimal 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services at cost-effective rates.

COVID-19 is expected to have significant negative impact on the deployment of 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) such as delays in the spectrum auction and delay in other standard activities. In addition, it offers notable constraints on developing network and negatively impacts the investment decisions of the telecommunication operators. Although, the COVID-19 pandemic is also expected to have major positive impact on consumer demand for high-speed data services. Since, the advent of COVID-19 global pandemic both the public sector and private sector organizations have permitted their employees to do work from home. Hence, there’s substantially high demand for super speed data services which creates notable growth opportunity for 5G fixed wireless access.

Insight by Offering

Based upon offering, the global market is categorized into hardware including, access units & CPE and services. Services is expected to hold the highest share in global market in 2019, owing to the availability of several types of services including, connection of several devices required for smart and safe vehicles, smart homes, smart schools, smart cities, improve education and healthcare while also providing a highly efficient and more safe place to reside.

Nearly over 1 billion homes globally still do not have regular broadband connection. 5G fixed wireless access seems to be a robust way of providing seamless internet connectivity to household users by deploying the wireless mobile-based network facility rather than using the conventional fixed line services. Safe and secure high-speed internet connectivity is crucial for the transport industry because the much-required materials such as grocery supply, hardware items, new vehicles via road needs to be delivered on time. The on-time delivery service is ensured by the ultra-fast internet connectivity through 5G fixed wireless access services.

Insight by Demography

Based upon demography, the global market is categorized into urban, semi-urban and rural. Semi-urban demography is expected to dominate the market primarily driven by the availability of high power transmission or reception technologies along with sophisticated antenna technology, extensive adoption of ultra-fast 5G-enabled fixed wireless access.

High adoption of 5G is mainly due to the availability of advanced smartphones and handheld devices with people and these devices have the required hardware to support the 5G technology. Next, the major adoption is expected to be in rural demography driven by craze for ultra-high speed among the youngsters in the rural areas. On the other hand, urban demography is expected to slowly adopt 5G technology because of the availability of advanced 4G technology supporting devices with people in these regions.

Insight by Application

Based upon application, the global market is categorized into residential, commercial, industrial and government. The residential application is expected to dominate the global market primarily attributed to the fact that the residential customers receive gigabits of speed at the best competitive price, with no installation issues. The government as customer is expected to develop and utilize private wireless high-speed network to be deployed as public network. In order to achieve the deployment of private network as public high-speed network, the industrial and enterprise customers would just need seamless communications and connectivity with the already operational public communications internet service providers while using their own telecommunications infrastructure.

Geographic Overview

Geographically, North America is the largest revenue contributor to the regional market and holding a majority of the market share. In North America, the U.S. is expected to have the highly engaged user base, and the same trend is again believed to continue through the addition of novel subscribers.
