Telecom Tower Market Drivers and Opportunities

Surge in Mobile Communication to Favor Market

Mobile communication usage is predicted to drive future growth in the telecom tower market. Mobile communication involves leveraging technology such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablets to connect with people in different locations. Telecom towers, such as mobile phone towers, use electrical equipment and antennas to transmit and receive signals, enabling wireless communication across large distances. In March 2023, the International Telecommunication Union reported a 5% increase in the percentage of male world population owning mobile phones from 74% in 2021 to 79% in 2022. The growing use of mobile communication is driving the growth of the telecom tower market.

Government-led Expansion is Fueling the Surge of Telecom Towers

The telecom tower industry is predicted to develop due to government-led initiatives in the telecommunications sector. Government initiatives for the telecommunications sector include policies, programs, and activities aimed at regulating, supporting, and developing the industry. Government activities in the telecommunications sector impact the regulatory, economic, and technological situation for telecom towers. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 allocates US $65 billion for broadband, with US $48.2 billion managed by NTIA's newly established Internet Connectivity and Growth office. The IIJA has required the NTIA to develop six broadband programs, the most important of which is the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program. Thus, the market for telecom towers is expanding due to an increase in government efforts for the telecom industry.
