The Impact of 5G on Microwave Transmission: A Two-Year Growth Forecast
The Impact of 5G on Microwave Transmission: A Two-Year Growth Forecast
According to a recent report by the Dell'Oro Group, a prominent market research firm specializing in telecommunications, security, and data center industries, the expansion of 5G technology is set to fuel a surge in microwave transmission equipment demand for at least the next two years. As global 5G networks expand their reach, the need for efficient point-to-point microwave transmission systems is also expected to rise.
Growth Predictions for Microwave Transmission
Jimmy Yu, the Vice President of Dell'Oro Group, commented on the forecasts, stating, "We anticipate at least two more years of growth for point-to-point microwave transmission equipment. This growth will be primarily driven by the ongoing expansion of 5G networks, as global coverage increases. After this period, demand for mobile backhaul equipment will likely decline until deeper into the 6G deployment phase."
As 5G technology proliferates, it is projected that the demand for mobile backhaul systems initially will favor fiber-based networks. However, the reliance on microwave solutions is expected to increase as the telecommunications landscape evolves. Yu added, "Just like during the 5G cycle, we anticipate that most growth will occur in fiber-based backhaul systems initially, but thereafter, microwave transmission systems will see renewed interest."
The report delves deeper into the mechanics of microwave transmission systems, revealing that the revenue associated with 5G microwave transmissions is expected to grow at an impressive average annual rate of 12% through to 2028. However, following this period, a decline is anticipated until 2032, where a resurgence in microwave transmission revenue is expected.
Insights on Market Trends
The Dell'Oro Group report highlights essential trends within the microwave transmission market. It notes that the shift towards fiber and copper systems for mobile backhaul has been progressive with each new mobile technology iteration. For the upcoming years, the volume of wireless backhaul systems is also projected to increase due to heightened demand for point-to-point connections, particularly in regions rapidly adopting 5G.
Key insights from the report include:
- - By 2030, the microwave systems' prominence may be overshadowed by initial deployments of 6G networks, which are anticipated to favor fiber-based connections.
- - Demand for E/V Band systems, known for their high backhaul capacity, is projected to increase significantly, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%.
