5G FWA on the rise: state of the market, new developments and outlook through to 2030
This report is available to those subscribed to the Fixed, TV and Convergence module.
FWA solutions have been around for more than two decades, but prior to the arrival of 5G, adoption was slow. 5G is driving renewed interest, making FWA a more competitive solution, vis-à-vis established fixed technologies such as fibre and cable, and a key use case for 5G monetisation. Commercialisation is on the rise; as of the end of 2022, 95 operators had launched 5G FWA services worldwide across both developed and developing markets.
In this report, we review the state of the 5G FWA market and provide insights into its future outlook. In a range of markets, such as Austria, Australia, Germany and the US, 5G FWA will account for more than 10% of total fixed broadband connections by 2025. By 2030, India will be the largest market worldwide, with 46.5 million connections. Through case studies, we also shine a light on how leading operators are launching and monetising 5G FWA services.
