Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Size

The global mobile broadband infrastructure market was valued at USD 51.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 7% between 2025 and 2034. Deployment of 5-generation networks is the main factor for the growth of markets, along with a robust investment to increase the coverage of fourth-generation LT networks in developing countries. The infrastructural improvements come hand in hand with the rising demand of telecom services due to increased use of mobile phones, video streaming, and IoT’s use.
 

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market

To remain competitive in this moving market, companies apply strategic collaborations and advanced constructions. For example, in December 2024’s Airspan Networks as chosen by AWTG Limited to be part of the RAN deployment for the Connected Heartland Railways project in England. It is part of the 5G Innovation Regions initiative of the UK government will improve connectivity in various sectors.
 

Also, a strong and growing trend influencing the development of the market is the increasing integration of mobile broadband infrastructure into mobile satellite services. As conventional networks grapple with problems of accessing distant and un-served locations, MSS offers an effective solution. These services improve national network systems by filling in coverage deficiencies especially in rural, marine and disaster areas where ground networks are not or only partially available. The revenue of the global mobile satellite services market is expected to expand and reach around USD 8 Billion up by the year of 2032 with more than 5% as its yearly growth rate.
 

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Trends

5G wireless systems are important implements and are crucial drivers of the internet for their faster speeds and low latency. They also come with the potential of connecting more users. Upgrading a network’s infrastructure is apparently a cost heavy investment with hardware parts including antennas and base stations. For example, in May 2024, Dell Technologies integrated with several other organizations to assist Communications Service Providers (CSPs) in transforming their mobile networks Structural Systems into cloud-based Radio systems.
 

The market has potential growth near rural and underserved areas which can be unlocked through a combination of government programs and public-private partnerships for broadband internet deployment. For example, Viasat partnered with Altan, a Mexican telecommunications retailer, to extend their home and mobile broadband service which Viasat has been providing to Americans since the last 2 years and its a combination of satellites and wireless LTE over these shared mobile connections government initiated by Mexico.
 

The mobile broadband infrastructure market has high costs of deployment and navigating through different regulatory bodies tends to be a challenge while also facing competition. This also leads to a lag in the pace of infrastructure development that restrains the growth of the telecom market. Coupled with this, smaller telecom operators find it hard to compete with larger ones on account of the investments that need to be made to purchase equipment for a new network rollout and licenses for spectrum.
 

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Analysis

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Size, By Component, 2022 – 2034, (USD Billion)

Based on component, the market is divided into hardware, software, and service. In 2024, the hardware segment was valued at over USD 30 billion. In addition to the previously stated hardware solutions needed by the infrastructure ecosystems, systems that are recognized as being complex as well as robust are also in high demand because complex and robust systems are needed to support the higher power requirements alongside the lower latency requirements.
 

Multiples are high in terms of demand of new hardware such as MIMO antennas, fiber-optic equipment and backhaul amongst a range of other computing sensors. This also led to the formation of public-private partnerships aimed at densifying the base stations of networks, thus ensuring maximum coverage in urban centers. Expect models from BOE, Ricoh and TSMC to be involved to aid network infrastructure to undergo upgrades with hybrid 5G models. Such activities and shifts in demand further add to growth trends for telecom hardware over the years to come.
 

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Share, By End Use, 2024

Based on end use, the mobile broadband infrastructure market is categorized into telecommunication providers, enterprises, and government. The telecommunication providers segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 6% from 2025 to 2034. The level of telecommunications traffic keeps rising, prompting an increase in telecom operators’ investments in network upgrades. Such upgrading entails the expansion of the telecom infrastructure, which is accompanied by more devices and data transfers. Video streaming, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and real-time communication platforms, for instance, all require a great amount of bandwidth.
 

Additionally, telecom companies are leading the development of cloud based RAN technologies and the use of virtualization. With such solutions it is possible to cut down on costs and increase network scalability. As competition rises, the operators are focusing on the reliability of the network and the customer experience in order to keep their existing clients and acquire new ones.
 

China Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Size, 2022 -2034, (USD Billion)

Asia Pacific dominated the global mobile broadband infrastructure market with a major share of over 30% in 2024. China has been significantly investing in their government policies aimed at advancing their capabilities in technology relevant to the deployment of 5G technology. Leading domestic players such as Huawei and ZTE have already started the aggressive rollout of millions of 5G base stations, and as a result, China has undergone rapid expansion in terms of networks. These companies not only dominate the domestic market but also play a pivotal role in supplying advanced infrastructure to global markets.
 

Developing regions such as North America are investing heavily on mobile broadband infrastructure due to the early adoption of 5G alongside the supportive policies pushed forth through emphasizing innovation. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and other telecommunications companies are heavily investing into purchasing spectrum to scale their network as well as to increase their small-cell targets to improve the data requirements of their customers. Industries such as automotive, healthcare and logistics are increasingly making use of edge computing solutions as well as private networks, all of which enable Low-Latency Communication (LLC).
 

Also, Europe’s market is comprised of a rather restrictive set of regulations, sustainability targets and technological improvements. The region is making significant steps towards upgrading its network infrastructure and countries like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are the front runners in deploying 5G networks. This is further backed up with comprehensive legislation that requires a number of outputs with a focus on network reliability, energy consumption and safety of data.
 

Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Market Share

Huawei Technologies, Nokia, and Ericsson collectively hold a significant market share of over 40% in mobile broadband infrastructure industry. Advent and Innovation are the two organizations that are at the forefront of the industry and influence in more ways the telecom industry with their extensive product line and owning research and engineering capabilities.
