Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: 5G System Integration Market


The global 5G system integration market size is estimated to reach USD 43.7 billion by 2027 and is expected to register a CAGR of 14.9% from 2020 to 2027. 5G system integration is a process of integrating both virtual and physical components of any enterprise with new upgraded systems or applications to work over the new 5G network. The rising demand for high-speed bandwidth capacity has enabled enterprises to install upgraded network infrastructure to enhance overall operational efficiency as well as reduce the total process costs. Thus, the robust deployment of upgraded network infrastructure across enterprises to deliver enhanced services to their customers is estimated to propel the demand.

Major global manufacturers are seeking opportunities to speed up their operations by embracing modern digital technologies to empower the fourth industrial revolution (i.e., Industry 4.0). These technologies, such as big data analytics, industrial wireless camera, and collaborative robots, are enabling manufacturing facilities to take a giant leap toward smart and data-driven flexible operations. In addition, several manufacturers have developed and implemented these aforementioned technologies to compete in a highly competitive environment. Manufacturers need to integrate them with next-generation 5G network, in order to provide unified communication to these technologies; which also helps reduce the overall operational downtime and costs through delivering continuous connectivity and remote monitoring. Thus, robust deployment of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) coupled with a growing demand for 5G services to provide unified connectivity is anticipated to bolster the demand for 5G system integration during the forecast period.

With the evolution of fifth-generation mobile network services, various enterprises across the globe are aggressively focusing on integrating their legacy network infrastructure with the new upcoming 5G technologies. Also, these companies are integrating their existing on premise applications and cloud networks with modern 5G technologies to work seamlessly over a centralized network. This integration process allows enterprises to access high bandwidth capacity with low latency for their operations, thereby increasing the total operational efficiency by reducing the overall response time to customers. Therefore, the significant rise in demand for fast broadband to reduce overall response-time is expected to boost growth of the 5G system integration market from 2020 to 2027.

The growing popularity of Network Function Visualizations (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) across enterprises is also expected to be one of the major factors driving the market growth. NFV allows enterprises to deploy several virtual machines and firewalls to lead an efficient economy of scale. On the other hand, SDN provides a smart network architecture that aims to reduce hardware constraints on the company premises. Also, SDN allows these companies to manage the use of their network behaviors efficiently through an Application Program Interface (API). Thus, the rapid adoption of NFV and SDN technologies to minimize overall network infrastructure costs is anticipated to further surge the growth. However, the rapidly increasing huge chunk of data sets over the cloud, coupled with the increasing demand for cloud-based application integration, creates a major security concern among the consumers, may hinder the market growth.
