Press Release

MmWave 5G Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.91% through 2030F

The Global MmWave 5G Market is expected to be led by North America, driven by early adoption, strong infrastructure, and extensive telecom investments, during the forecast period 2026-2030F


According to TechSci Research report, “MmWave 5G Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The Global MmWave 5G Market was valued at USD 3.34 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.92 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.91% through 2030.

Fixed Wireless Access using millimeter wave 5G is transforming last-mile connectivity in rural and underserved regions where laying fiber is expensive or impractical. With its high capacity and rapid deployability, MmWave-based FWA allows operators to deliver broadband-like performance to homes and businesses without traditional infrastructure costs. This has become a preferred strategy for bridging the digital divide and expanding internet access in both developed and developing regions.

National broadband initiatives and Universal Service programs are increasingly supporting millimeter wave deployments as a cost-effective alternative to wired solutions. By placing small cells on utility poles or rooftops, service providers can offer multi-gigabit internet speeds to previously disconnected areas. As remote work, online learning, and telehealth become standard, demand for reliable high-speed access in rural zones continues to rise—further fueling market momentum for MmWave FWA.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) using millimeter wave technology is becoming a preferred alternative to traditional fiber or copper-based broadband in both urban and rural areas. As demand for high-speed internet grows, especially with the rise in hybrid work and streaming services, millimeter wave FWA offers a cost-effective and rapid deployment option. Telecom providers are increasingly deploying FWA solutions to deliver multi-gigabit connectivity without the need for extensive cable-laying or trenching. This is particularly impactful in regions where building fixed infrastructure is economically or logistically challenging.

In urban settings, millimeter wave FWA enables network operators to densify broadband coverage quickly, supporting business parks, residential buildings, and public venues. In underserved rural regions, it is closing the digital divide by providing fiber-like performance through point-to-multipoint wireless connections. Furthermore, advancements in antenna design, beamforming, and customer premises equipment are improving signal reach and reliability. As national broadband strategies and infrastructure funds prioritize inclusivity, the adoption of millimeter wave FWA is expected to accelerate, redefining the economics of last-mile connectivity. This trend illustrates how millimeter wave 5G is not only powering mobile networks but also transforming fixed internet delivery models.
