Global Mobile Network Infrastructure Spending, 2020-2025 Package

5G has been launched by mobile operators in the U.S., many countries in Europe and select countries in the Asia Pacific region.

However, 5G network deployment will not be complete in a year or two in any of these global regions, but will instead take many years to fully deploy. As a result, LTE will continue to carry the majority of mobile data traffic for the next few years.

This package includes three market studies that present a forecast for the cost of building, deploying and operating LTE and 5G networks in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific from 2020 to 2025. The build forecast is detailed by mobile network component (RAN, front/backhaul, and core) and generation (4G and 5G). The RAN build component is further detailed by Open RAN and traditional RAN. The study also includes a forecast of network operating costs. In addition to the forecasts, the market studies provide detailed information on 5G networks, Open RAN, virtualization, and edge computing, as well as a status update on auctioned 5G spectrum and 5G network deployments in the three regions.

The following three market studies are included in this package:

• U.S. Mobile Network Infrastructure Spending Forecast, 2020-2025


• Europe Mobile Network Infrastructure Spending Forecast, 2020-2025


• Asia Pacific Mobile Network Infrastructure Spending Forecast, 2020-2025

The three market studies are included in this package at a discounted price. Alternatively, the market studies can be purchased individually by going directly to the pages for each market study using the above links.
