U.S. Private LTE & 5G Network Market Size To Reach $14.13 Billion By 2030

U.S. Private LTE & 5G Network Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. private LTE & 5G network market size is expected to reach USD 14.13 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 25.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of private networks, encompassing both LTE and 5G technologies, for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, is a significant driver behind the market's growth in the U.S. Various use cases, including remote asset monitoring and machine control systems, contribute to this upward trend.

Enterprises and manufacturing organizations actively embrace Industry 4.0 by incorporating intelligent technologies such as machine learning and machine vision. This includes adopting smart factory solutions, 5G, industrial automation, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to enhance and modernize their industrial operations. Industry 4.0 relies on advanced, automated, and collaborative systems that necessitate dependable and strong wireless connections with minimal latency. Consequently, numerous factories and companies operating in sectors such as automotive, transportation, logistics, mining, energy, and power are opting for private 5G and LTE networks to meet their connectivity requirements.

Moreover, the growing use and adoption of Industrial IoT (IIoT) and other industry 4.0 applications in the various industry verticals are anticipated to increase the demand for private LTE & 5G networks during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, during the Mobile World Congress 2022 in Las Vegas, NTT Limited, an information technology infrastructure and service company announced the deployment of its 5G private network in Las Vegas, U.S. The company also unveiled a comprehensive Net-Zero Action solution that integrates cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to assist companies in achieving their carbon-zero goals. The 5G private network for Las Vegas is expected to support healthcare, the government, businesses, and the education sector.

Organizations are increasingly favoring private networks over public ones due to a multitude of advantages, including ultra-high-speed, enhanced network security, low latencies, and reliable connectivity. Additionally, the flexibility to customize and efficiently upgrade their networks is a significant driver behind this shift. Companies and organizations that have pre-existing private network infrastructure in place can easily leverage the benefits of LTE and 5G networks by simply installing software stacks from reputable vendors. This streamlined approach allows them to access LTE and 5G capabilities at a reduced cost, making it a compelling option for many businesses.

The deployment of 5G faced substantial delays during the COVID-19 pandemic due to factors like reduced network infrastructure spending and a limited workforce. Telecom providers prioritized focused capacity coverage rather than large-scale deployments due to the scarcity of investments and resources. Furthermore, disruptions in the supply chain resulted in significant component shortages, further impeding the 5G rollout worldwide. However, as the world gradually recovers from the pandemic, enterprises are anticipated to invest in service offerings that facilitate new work approaches.
