Global 5G Technology Market Size, Share 2025-2034

5G Technology Market: Overview

5G Technology Market Size, Trends and Insights By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By Communication Type (Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Massive Internet of Things, Mission Critical Services), By Technology (Radio Access Technologies (RAT), Wi-Fi, High-Speed Package Access (HSPA), Global System for Mobile (GSM), Worldwide Interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX)), By Application (IT & Telecom, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Automation, Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare, Others), and By Region - Global Industry Overview, Statistical Data, Competitive Analysis, Share, Outlook, and Forecast 2025 - 2034

According to Custom Market Insights (CMI), The 5G Technology Market  size was estimated at USD 274 Billion in 2025 and is expected to hit around USD 24,231 Billion by 2034, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 64.5% from 2025 to 2034.

5G is the next generation of wireless network technology, after 4G. It offers much higher data rates, lower latency (less delay), and more capacity to handle more connected devices. It does this by using higher frequencies and better antenna technology, which makes new things possible like self-driving cars, faster mobile broadband, huge IoT connections, and real-time remote services. 5G networks not only have faster download rates, with a peak speed of 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), but they also have much lower latency, which means that communication across cellular base stations and antennas can happen almost instantly. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) set the IMT-2020 standards for the 5G New Radio (5G NR) standard, which is the only worldwide 5G standard. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) created it.

5G Technology Market: Growth Drivers

• Growing partnership among the market players: The rising partnership among the key market players are expected to florish the industry expansion over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2025, Nokia and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KONGSBERG), Norways top defense technology company that focuses on cutting-edge technologies for land, sea, air, and space, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together to make tactical communications solutions better for the defense industry. KONGSBERG knows a lot about military tactical communications, and Nokia is a leader in 4G and 5G wireless technologies for businesses and consumers. They will work together to develop networks that are safe, robust, and speedy for defense groups and their friends. The goal of the agreement is to make 5G easier to use in tactical systems and to make communication during conflict better so that it performs better and is more reliable. It will also look at the future of tactical 5G capabilities, how they might work with sensors and unmanned systems, and how they might be used in European Defense Fund programs like 5G COMPAD and the Federated Advanced Cyber Physical Test Range (FACT) program. The companies will look at new technologies, such Nokias 6G network as a sensor (Integrated Sensing and Communication), to enable soldiers be more aware of their surroundings and ready for battle in the long run.

• Rising mobile data traffic: The global 5G technology business is growing quickly because of the rise in mobile data traffic. For instance, by 2025, people around the world will use more than 200 exabytes of mobile data every month. By 2030, 5G networks will carry 80% of all mobile traffic. The average smartphone user would use about 23 GB of data each month in 2025, which is high as compared to 2022. Since the mobile apps uses significant amount of data like 4K/8K video streaming, cloud gaming, AR/VR, and the growth of IoT installations in smart cities, healthcare, and industrial automation. Thus, the growing mobile data traffic drives the industry growth.
