by The global Telecom Towers Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 50.40 Bn or Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Telecom towers are essential infrastructure required for telecommunication network and connectivity. They are installed along with various telecommunication technologies such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and upcoming 5G to enable seamless communication and connectivity. Telecom towers help in providing wireless network coverage for a specific geographic area. They improve network availability and quality of connections for users by reducing call drops and optimizing data transfer speed. With rising penetration of smartphones and increasing adoption of high-speed internet services, the demand for telecom towers is increasing significantly across the globe.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving growth of the telecom towers market is rising adoption of 5G connectivity. 5G networks promise significantly higher speed and lower latency compared to existing 4G networks. However, deployment of 5G requires installation of several small cell sites or small telecom towers as 5G networks work on high-frequency spectrum that faces issues in covering longer distances. According to estimates, over 2 million 5G base stations are projected to be installed worldwide by 2023. This substantial deployment of 5G infrastructure will accelerate the demand for telecom towers over the forecast period. Furthermore, growing mobile subscriber base across emerging economies is also expected to boost market growth.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The telecom towers industry requires high initial capital investment for setting up towers, which poses significant barriers for new players.
