The microwave transmission equipment market was valued at US$ 3,135.6 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 5,330.1 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2021 to 2028.

The reach of backhaul media varies across different parts of the network geography, which can be attributed to factors such as market maturity in fixed and mobile telecoms and government incentives. Moreover, the overall share of the microwave technology in the overall backhaul Microwave Transmission Equipment market is likely to decline in the coming years; however, the number of macro and small cell base stations would continue to rise, which would boost the total number of microwave-connected base stations. North America is one of the early regions to roll out the LTE. Due to a lack of readily available fiber and failure of existing copper-based infrastructure, the share of microwave technology has increased in backhaul deployments in the last few years. Western Europe is a mature market in fiber deployment, particularly in densely populated areas. However, the transition to fiber in other parts of the world, such as Africa, India, and the Middle East, is likely to take longer because of factors such as rights of way, i.e., the legal right, established by usage or grant, to pass along a specific route through grounds or property belonging to another. Nevertheless, the majority of mobile broadband networks would be deployed using microwave backhaul. Latin America is expected to make a quick switch to fiber on the back of government initiatives and operator investments.
