India’s 5G FWA Market Set for Double-Digit Growth Amid Expanding Urban Connectivity
The future of India’s 5G FWA CPE market appears promising, characterized by substantial growth potential and numerous opportunities. India, with its vast population of more than 1.3 billion and increasing urbanization, is witnessing a growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity. As of 2023, the 5G FWA CPE penetration rate in India stands at around 6%, which is relatively low compared to developed countries, but presents a vast untapped market for expansion. Recently, Bharti Airtel has launched India’s first 5G FWA services across National capital Delhi and Financial capital Mumbai. On the other hand, Reliance Jio is likely to launch its Air Fiber service soon, which would further intensify the demand for 5G FWA CPEs in the country.
The Indian government has shown a strong commitment to promoting 5G technology. In the Union Budget 2021-22, an outlay of INR 12,000 crores was allocated for a three-year project to boost the 5G infrastructure. This project focuses on laying optical fiber cables and upgrading existing networks to ensure seamless connectivity. The Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) has been actively working on setting standards for 5G technology, ensuring compliance with global norms.
Major telecom providers in India, such as Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, have been conducting trials and investing in 5G technology. Reliance Jio, for instance, announced an investment of US$ 2 billion for the development of indigenous 5G technology, aiming to provide services across 1,000 cities by 2025. This aligns with the country’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, promoting domestic manufacturing and decreasing reliance on imports in the global 5G FWA CPE market. India’s young and tech-savvy population, with about 65% of the population under the age of 35, signifies a huge consumer base ready to adopt advanced technologies like 5G. By 2025, the number of 5G connections in India is projected to reach around 70 million, growing at 22%. The urban areas, particularly the Tier 1 cities, are anticipated to lead this adoption due to better infrastructure and higher disposable incomes.
Indoor Segment Leads Global 5G FWA CPE Market Amid IoT and Remote Work Trends
The installation segment of the global 5G FWA CPE market is bifurcated into indoor and outdoor categories, with the indoor segment holding the highest share of 61.5%. This dominance can be attributed to the growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity within homes and businesses. Indoor installations often require less infrastructure and are more user-friendly, which further adds to their appeal. In addition, the indoor segment is projected to grow at an impressive rate of 32.1%, propelled by the increased integration of smart devices, work-from-home trends, and the proliferation of IoT in residential and commercial spaces. The outdoor segment, though smaller, complements the indoor segment by delivering broader connectivity options, especially in areas where indoor installations may be challenging.
