global microwave internet broadband equipment demand keeps growing
According to the latest forecast report of market research, the cumulative revenue of global microwave internet broadband equipment is expected to reach $18 billion in the next five years, an increase of 12% over the revenue of the past five years. In 2023 alone, the global microwave internet broadband equipment market will grow by 5%, and Felicomm expects demand for E-band systems capable of supporting 20Gbps data rates to increase significantly this year. Overall shipments of E/V band equipment are expected to increase by 35% year-over-year.
Jimmy Yu, vice president of market research Dell'Oro Group, said: "The demand for microwave internet broadband equipment is on the rise. Due to the deployment of 5G, the number of 5G base stations worldwide is increasing, which is meeting the increased demand for wireless mobile backhaul. This is especially true for E-band systems, as they are designed to efficiently transmit multiple gigabit bandwidths. This growth cycle began in 2021, and E-band systems benefit the most in wireless backhaul technology, as these products can easily meet the needs of 5G backhaul. ”
Other highlights of the July 2023 five-year forecast for microwave internet broadbandand wireless backhaul include:
- Demand for 5G base station wireless backhaul equipment, including microwave bridges and fiber optic systems, is expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of nearly 20%.
- As the growth rate of 5G deployments will begin to slow next year, the microwave internet market is expected to peak in 2025. Annual shipments are expected to peak at 1.8 million units.
- Due to increased demand in India, Dell'Oro Group improved its market forecasts for Packet Microwave and Asia Pacific.
