Top Impacting Factors
Growth in Number of IoT Devices and Adoption of Edge Computing
Edge computing allows huge volumes of data to be processed close to the data source. Edge computing facilities real-time analysis with faster response times while improving reliability and overall performance. Moreover, edge computing helps reduce privacy and security concerns. Gartner has projected that the number of IoT devices will surge to 50 billion by 2020. The data generated by these devices is also growing exponentially. The growing demand for edge computing coupled with increasing amounts of data generated by IoT devices is expected to drive the demand for higher data speeds. 5G technologies will help deliver unmatched data speeds while improving the overall user experience and enhancing real-time data processing capabilities. 5G communication is expected to perform 1000 times faster than 4G, while bringing down device response times to milliseconds.
Small Cell Deployments Challenges
Cost-effective and rapid deployment of small cell networks is one of the key requirements in 5G deployments. However, in many regions of the world small cell deployments are facing excessive regulatory, financial and administrative obligations further delaying the implementation of 5G technology. It is seen that local body permissions for deploying small cells take months or sometimes years. Moreover, local administrative bodies are charging huge amount for small cell deployments near street furniture.
Increase in Investments in Smart Cities
According to IDC, investments in smart city tech is projected to reach $135 billion by 2021. 5G technologies are expected to serve as the foundation of small cell networks that will drive the next generation of wireless infrastructure within a smart city which is anticipated to create lucrative opportunity for the 5G technology market forecast period. Moreover, 5G technologies are expected to spur innovation and adoption of cutting-edge technologies in smart cities. One of the major hurdles for bringing smart cities into reality has been the need for immense speed and bandwidth to handle vast amounts of data. 5G technologies are anticipated to drive cost saving in smart cities.
According to a report by Accenture, smart city solutions that are applied to the management of vehicle traffic and electrical grids can considerably save energy usage, traffic congestion and fuel costs, and can help save up to $160 billion. Growth in investments toward smart city infrastructure is expected to provide significant opportunity for implementation of 5G technologies which will help in the 5G technology market growth.
COVID-19 impact analysis
The global COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected businesses across the world. Various industry verticals will likely leverage the COVID-19 situation to expedite their 5G-based technology investment for running their operations.
