Which countries are leading the 5G base station market?

Globally, 5G is being deployed at two different paces, with China supporting half of the base transceiver station (BTS) market while the rest of Asia, Europe, the U.S. and late 5G entrant India dominate the balance of the market. Figure 1 shows our latest base station forecast by region. Figure 1 Macro/Micro regional BTS forecast.

How does 5G improve network capacity?

5G is bringing massive network capacity improvements by using new spectrum in the sub-6 GHz frequency band while reusing legacy 4G bands. 5G architectures leverage traditional remote radio heads (RRHs) and active antenna systems (AAS). The use of massive MIMO (mMIMO) is a crucial technology to improve AAS spectral efficiency and throughput.

Who are the major 5G suppliers in India?

India is a new and important market for 5G and the country has chosen to turn toward the Western supply chain, with Nokia and Ericsson as the main suppliers. The growth in the RAN market is mainly supported by the five big established players: Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia, ZTE and Samsung.

What percentage of MNOs invest in 5G?

Source: RF for Radio Access Network (RAN) 2023 report, Yole Intelligence, 2023. We estimate that 5G comprises more than 70 percent of the investment from the MNOs. MNOs are expected to continue investing massively in 5G in the upcoming years and this will continue to expand the 5G footprint.
