The adoption of 5G networks for smart cities is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the energy efficiency challenges in 5G small cell networks the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key 5G Equipment Market Driver
The adoption of 5G networks for smart cities is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global 5G equipment market. Smart cities are gaining popularity as a result of the sophisticated technology that makes them more convenient. Information and communication technology (ICT) is commonly used in these cities to construct connected and harmonized public amenities and infrastructure. Because every component must be connected to the Internet and integrated, communication is a critical component of the overall infrastructure. Internet, telephone, and wireless communications services are all necessary for commercial use.
A smart city necessitates a large number of machine-to-machine communication applications. Smart metering, property monitoring, logistics management, and smart parking are just a few of the major MTC uses. Because they are placed in tough locations such as basements and farms, these huge applications use relatively low data rates but require considerable long-range connectivity. The demand for 5G networks will grow as data transmission and communications become more efficient.
Key 5G Equipment Market Trend
The growing R&D and deployment of the 5G network will fuel the global 5G equipment market growth. In the future, R&D activities and trend-setting innovations are expected to increase. The increase in R&D activities, along with the improvement of items joining trend-setting innovations, are probably going to increment during the conjecture time frame. In October 2019, Qualcomm Inc. (Qualcomm) announced $200 million in venture subsidies for organizations constructing the 5G biological system. Since 2018, Ericsson has been focusing on 5G R&D and has contributed more than $350 million to 5G R&D.
The organization is focused on creating 5G and other imaginative portable innovations. In January 2020, Chinese vendor Huawei completed 5G New Radio testing using a 2.6 GHz spectrum in the 5G trial organized by the IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group. The company's dominating position in test completion and newly acquired results further accelerate the progress of 5G technology R&D and help in forming a set of unified global standards to impressively conclude China's second phase of the 5G test. The evolution of 5G technology will compel vendors to develop wireless test equipment that effectively supports the technology.
Key 5G Equipment Market Challenge
The energy efficiency challenges in 5G small cell networks are a major challenge for the global 5G equipment market growth. 5G networks are projected to make communication between linked devices like driverless vehicles, electronic healthcare, smart cities, and building and home automation easier. In these applications, the implementation of 5G networks would enable real-time monitoring and control of numerous connected devices. With the integration of 5G networks in these applications, the threat of cyber-attacks will grow. Hacking connected devices to collect customer data or breaching many devices to launch a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault on important target servers are examples of cyber-attacks on 5G networks.
Moreover, numerous small-cell manufacturing organizations will face a challenge to meet the above-mentioned requirements. The transmission power, although it increases computational cost, will lessen with the utilization of advancements, for example, Massive MIMO. In this manner, firms need to address the exchange off, wherein they have to choose whether computational or transmission power is increasingly imperative to keep up the vitality proficiency of 5G little cell systems.

The market share growth by the macrocell segment will be significant during the forecast period. Macrocells are high-power network cells that provide radio coverage for cellular networks. They are typically used to create cellular base stations by mounting microcell antennas on masts or towers. For the smooth functioning of microcells, antennas should have a clear vision of the surroundings so that the signal is not obstructed. Hence, they are typically mounted on towers and not on the ground, rooftops, or other existing small structures. Macrocells can provide cellular network coverage for large areas such as large towns.

The macrocell segment was valued at USD 295.81 million in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Macrocells transmit high-intensity signals that ensure strong network strength, which can propel longer distance-delivering connectivity to mobile device users. Macrocells transmit data signals as output, which is 5 to 10 times more intense than the signals transmitted through small cells. Similarly, the coverage area of macrocells is very high compared with small cells and microcells. Macrocells specifically used in 5G infrastructure are integrated with power semiconductor devices to support the high-power density requirements. Thus, macrocells are deployed in applications of long-range network coverage compared with small cells, which are used in network densification. The demand for macrocells is increasing with a growing focus on the development of smart cities globally, as macrocells can facilitate the deployment of 5G networks over large city areas and have high user connection capacity. This would drive the market for macrocells during the forecast period.
