Market Overview

The global private 5G network market size was valued at USD 2.32 billion in 2023. It is expected to reach USD 58.57 billion in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 43.23% over the forecast period (2024-2032). Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are endorsing the deployment of private 5G networks through favorable policies and financial incentives, accelerating market growth and encouraging adoption across various sectors.

A private 5G network is a mobile network similar to a public 5G network but enables the owner to offer preferential access or licensing for its wireless spectrum. This can be advantageous when building private wireless networks at locations where coverage, speed, and security capabilities are required beyond what Wi-Fi and other network technologies can provide.

Some characteristics of private 5G are similar to commercial mobile network operators' public 5G networks. Private 5G, like all 5G networks, supplements or replaces 4G LTE as the next generation of wireless mobile technology, delivering lower latency and better throughput. Gigabit rates—or data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps—are promised by 5G networks. 5G services, both public and private, cut latency dramatically and can increase coverage to remote places.


Market Dynamics

Drivers: The Emergence of Industry 4.0

A specialized local area network (LAN) that offers full internet access to industry, corporate, and other users is a private or non-public 5G network. Various prominent industrial players, like Mercedes Benz AG, Siemens AG, and ABB Ltd., have adopted industrial robotics and sensor-based technologies to gain higher functional effectiveness and production with industry 4.0. The above-mentioned IIoT devices rely on the private 5G network to provide a secure and seamless internet connection.

Further, demands for real-time-based networking and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) are fast-growing across various industries, including transportation & logistics, aerospace, oil & gas, and manufacturing. The need for a private 5G network is expected to develop significantly throughout the projection period to enable bandwidth with high-speed connection during real-time networking and time-sensitive networking across sectors.

The oil and gas industry's rapid drive to digitization has increased the demand for exceptionally dependable and protected bandwidth. As a result, interest in high secure networks is expected to rise, particularly among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Thus, the advent of Industry 4.0 is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Drivers: Development of Smart Infrastructure

Smart cities, for example, are conceptual models that aim to supply a combination of cutting-edge infrastructure and services. A smart city has ICT infrastructure to improve and improve the effectiveness of city activities and services. Only existing cities that adhere to the following components can be considered smart: smart utilities, smart citizen services, and smart buildings.

Smart cities deploy the Internet of Things (IoT) to collect real-time data and respond with quick and lower-cost solutions. Digital city environments, in general, are built on ICT frameworks that interconnect a variety of specialized connections of sensors, connected automobiles, mobile devices, home appliances, telecommunication gateways, and data centers.

As a result, the success of smart city projects is strongly reliant on numerous technologies—cloud, data communications, sensors, and mobility—that make up the Internet of Things. Due to the high need for quicker connectivity and communication, 5G standalone (SA) services may have a bright future.

Restraint: Stability Adoption of Wi-Fi Communication Technology

Wi-Fi communications are now widely regarded as the de-facto networking technology among businesses for providing on-site mobility to employees, linked devices, guests, and contract workers. Organizations' working productivity has grown due to advancements and innovations in wireless technologies and devices. Workers' use of Wi-Fi-equipped tablets and smart devices has enhanced company efficiency. According to an Intel white paper issued in 2016, manufacturing workers and technicians have improved their productivity.

Many businesses rely on Wi-Fi equipment to run their day-to-day operations. Employees may stay connected from any part of the workplace or building due to the extensive Wi-Fi coverage. Operating costs are reduced, and a good return on investment is realized when wireless products and smart devices are installed in businesses. The various advantages of Wi-Fi technology and its widespread acceptance among companies are crucial barriers to the market's expected growth.

Opportunities: Network Slicing to Provide New Opportunities for Operators

The whole point is that network operators can make the most of it if they correctly identify the professional markets, their precise technical requirements in terms of data rate, tolerable latency, and the massive number of connections in sending and receiving packets, and provide them with what they need with professional service level agreements.

Even though many independent private networks service corporations, many enterprise clients are not ready to invest in and build their networks. Network-level isolated infrastructure is not relevant to them. Service level assurance is far more critical for them. This allows operators to cope with them and give Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) choices by including the 'network slicing' function, enabling the operator to ensure corporate customers have a specific degree of service by applying functional level separation.

Over LTE networks, several MNOs use a technique known as "network slicing." This feature gives the operator access to network slices in the RAN and allows them to connect the slices to respond to any application. With 5G, MNOs will more easily divide resources and deliver distinct classes of rate, range, security, and other technical details to business-critical and mission-critical use-cases.
