Private LTE/5G Network Market Report 2024 - Private LTE/5G Network Deployments Reached 4,700 in 2024 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Private LTE/5G Network Market - 3rd Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The increased availability of dedicated spectrum and emergence of new use cases open up a wide range of opportunities for the cellular ecosystem. The shift is fuelling a new wave of investments by established network equipment vendors while also attracting new entrants into the space. While the market historically has been mainly supply-driven, it is today increasingly driven by organic demand from end users.

The major RAN vendors (Ericsson, Nokia and Huawei) all play significant roles as end-to-end solution providers and are challenged by a number of smaller RAN equipment providers. Nokia is the largest private LTE/5G network solution vendor of the three with about 800 customers and over 1,500 private network deployments at the end of 2024.

The vendors increasingly pursue channel-led sales strategies, and have developed ecosystems of mobile operators, system integrators, VARs and consulting partners to bring solutions to market. A number of small cell and other RAN equipment providers offer competitive LTE/5G radio products and in some cases complete private network offerings, including Airspan Networks, Askey, Baicells, Benetel, Cablefree, Celona, Firecell, GXC, JMA Wireless, Mavenir, Samsung Networks, Sercomm, Star Solutions and ZTE.

Important specialised core network software vendors include Cisco, Cumucore, Druid Software, Expeto, Highway 9, HPE and Microsoft. In total, RAN and EPC/5GC offerings for private networks are available from over 60 vendors. The analyser estimates that there were 4,700 private LTE/5G networks, excluding proof-ofconcept (PoC) projects, deployed across the world at the end of 2024, up from 3,400 networks in the previous year.

The private LTE/5G network market can be divided into two main segments: Enterprise and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Enterprise networks are smaller, typically covering areas ranging from single buildings to mid-sized cities. WANs extend across much larger areas, sometimes whole countries, and are typically owned by government organisations or utilities and used for critical communications. The market value for private LTE/5G network solutions reached an estimated US$ 1.8 billion in 2024. The Enterprise and WAN segments accounted for US$ 0.8 billion and US$ 1 billion respectively. The figures do not take into account adjacent revenue streams such as installation, system integration and cross-selling of other adjacent products and services.

The market value for private LTE/5G network solutions is set to grow at a steady pace over the next five years, largely driven by new network deployments. Revenue growth will also be driven by upgrades and expansions of existing networks, as enterprises add new applications and transition from LTE to 5G. Growing at a CAGR of 38 percent, the total market value for private LTE/5G network solutions is forecasted to reach US$ 8.9 billion in 2029
