The global 5G Core Network (5GC) market size was US$ 2571 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 13940 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 27.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
The 5G core network separates the user plane and the control plane, adopts a service-oriented architecture design, and is mainly composed of network functions (NFs). It uses distributed functions and is deployed according to actual needs. The addition or withdrawal of new network functions does not affect the function of the overall network. The report mainly counts 5G core network solutions.
Entering 2022, as 5G core network technology matures further, 5G construction continues to accelerate, 5G development is gradually bearing fruit, and 5G applications are also continuing to spread.The rapid growth in the amount of data carried by cellular networks is mainly driven by consumer demand for video and the shift of business to cloud services. This aspect is the main driving force for the development of the 5G core network industry, and 5G core network vendors have positive growth opportunities.
There are several growing economies in the Asia-Pacific region, such as China, India and Japan, which are expected to achieve high growth in the 5G core market. These countries have been supporting and promoting industrial and technological development.In terms of corporate competitiveness, the market share of leading companies is solidified, and it is difficult for other players to surpass them in a short time.
Latest News:In July 2024, the German government said it had reached an agreement with large telecommunications companies requiring them to stop using key components of Huawei and ZTE in 5G mobile infrastructure within five years, which is another move by European countries to ban Chinese companies from participating in the construction of critical telecommunications infrastructure.
The global 5G Core Network (5GC) market is strategically segmented by company, region (country), by Type, and by Application. This report empowers stakeholders to capitalize on emerging opportunities, optimize product strategies, and outperform competitors through data-driven insights on revenue and forecasts across regions, by Type, and by Application for 2020-2031.
