Segmental Analysis:

Based on core network technology, the 5G infrastructure market is segmented into software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV). The network function virtualization (NFV) segment held the largest 5G infrastructure market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. The NFV reduces the need for dedicated hardware for the deployment and management of networks by offloading network functions into the software, which can run on industry-standard hardware and can be managed from anywhere within the operator's network. Thus, all the above factors are fueling the segment's growth in the 5G infrastructure market.

Regional Analysis:

North America is expected to witness significant growth in the 5G infrastructure market in the forecasted period. In the region, the US will hold the largest 5G infrastructure market share in 2022 and will register the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. The digital industrial revolution, i.e., Industry 4.0, is helping to ease manufacturing operations, mass customization, increased speed, better quality, and improved productivity in factories. Because of this, automobile, retail, mechanical engineering, and electronics sectors are installing different industrial automation solutions to increase productivity. In 2021, in Italy, mechanical engineering will be the main consumer of automation, contributing 16% of the total share, packaging will contribute 10%, the food industry will contribute 9%, and logistics will contribute 7%. Thus, the rising adoption of factory automation solutions further boosts the market growth in the forecasted period.

Also, governments in various countries are investing in automating the manufacturing business in the region. For instance, in July 2021, the UK government announced an investment of US$ 59.3 million (£53 million) to drive the development of digital manufacturing technologies. Out of which, US$ 28.10 million (£25 million) will be invested in setting up five new industry-sponsored research centers to accelerate the development of cutting-edge digital solutions that can transform manufacturing businesses. The remaining amount will be invested in a digital supply chain innovation hub and will also be provided to 37 individual projects to digitalize and transform manufacturing supply chains. Thus, the growing government support will further boost the growth of the 5G infrastructure market growth in North America.
