The Emergence of 5G is Driving the Growth of the Dark Fiber Market

The 5G network is around 100 times faster than the 4G network, making real-time data acquisition easier. As the 5G network provides strong connectivity and high-speed data transfer, its demand is increasing worldwide. According to the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA), 5G penetration worldwide is expected to reach 54% by 2030 from 17% in 2022. North America has the highest 5G penetration, with 39% in 2022; it is expected to reach 91% by 2030. 5G penetration in Asia Pacific (except China) and Europe is expected to increase from 4% and 11% in 2022 to 41% and 87% by 2030, respectively. As 5G is the critical new-generation network technology enabling innovation and supporting digital transformation, its demand is increasing worldwide. Therefore, the governments of various countries are investing in 5G infrastructure. In July 2021, the government of France announced its plan to invest about US$ 2.06 billion (EUR 1.7 billion) in its 5G market by 2025 via public and private investments. Through this, the government aims to accelerate the development of 5G in the country. Similarly, in January 2021, the government of South Korea announced that they would increase the coverage of the next-generation mobile networks, particularly 5G, to 85 cities this year from the current seven major cities. It invested around US$ 115.89 million (127.9 billion won) in 2021 to encourage the use of private 5G networks. Growing investments in 5G will also raise the need for dark fiber as it helps drastically reduce traffic congestion and wasteful rerouting along with providing lower latency and faster network speeds. Therefore, the emergence of a 5G network is fueling the growth of the dark fiber market.

Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
