Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026661 | Category : Communication and Connectivity Technology | Delivery Format: /

The global 5G in defense market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 28.7% during the forecast period. 5G is a wireless network standard that offers improved network speed, lower latency, and greater capacity compared to 4G LTE networks. Using 5G in the military could improve intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and processing. Additionally, the high speed of 5G provides applications related to autonomous vehicles augmented and virtual reality, and others. Thus, the major factor driving the growth of the global 5G in defense market during the forecast is the increasing adoption of autonomous and connected devices. Autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots are used in the defense industry and employ telecommunication technology such as the 5G network for providing services in real-time at dangerous, inconvenient, and impossible areas of operation namely remote surveillance for enemy infantry to defense agencies.

Additionally, the growing investments by several governments globally is another factor boosting the growth of the market. For instance, in January 2021, Europe launched a defense research and development program worth $8.52 billion for financing defense R&D projects.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global 5G DEFENSE Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global market, owing to the limited transportation options and travel restrictions that created a hurdle for international trade and transportation activities.  Due to this, there was a disruption in the supply chain of crucial components, also in the development and testing of 5G technologies for the defense industry. All the work was kept on hold for some time during the pandemic, which has also halted and disturbed the deployment of the 5G network in the defense industry.

Segmental Outlook 

The global 5G in defense market is segmented based on the communication infrastructure, core network technology, platform, and end-user. Based on the communication infrastructure, the market is segmented into small cells and macrocells. Based on the core network technology, the market is sub-segmented into software-defined networking (SDN), fog computing (FC), mobile edge computing (MEC), and network function virtualization (NFV). Based on the platform, the market is sub-segmented into the land, naval and airborne. Based on end-user the market is segmented into military and homeland security. Among the communication infrastructure, the small cell segment is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market. As small cells provide high-frequency coverage, low-cost radio access points, low radio frequency (RF) power output, footprint, and range as compared to macrocells. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements.
