Wireless Infrastructure Market to Grow at a CAGR of 9.98% over 2025 to 2032; Surge in BYOD and WYOD Trends to Drive Market Growth

May 16, 2025 | Aerospace & Defense

The global wireless infrastructure market size was valued at USD 252.34 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 280.39 billion in 2025 to USD 545.78 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.98% during the forecast period.  Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled “Wireless Infrastructure Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Connectivity Type (5G, 4G & LTE, 3G, 2G, and Satellite), By Infrastructure (Small Cells, Mobile Core, Macro-Cells, Radio Access Networks, Distributed Antenna System, Cloud RAN, Carrier Wi-Fi, Backhaul, and SATCOM), By Platform (Government & Defense and Commercial), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

With mobile tech spanning 5G, 4G & LTE, 3G, and 2G, wireless infrastructure is booming. The surge in BYOD and WYOD trends is pushing the need for faster, high-data networks in business communications. Additionally, rising satellite-based connectivity usage in the defense and marine sectors is driving market growth.

The Russia-Ukraine war has accelerated wireless service adoption across Europe, especially among NATO forces. Advanced telecom and GPS systems, such as SpaceX’s Starlink, are aiding military communication and anti-detection efforts. Multi-platform anti-jamming antennas are gaining traction for UAVs and vehicles. Secure, agile transmission systems are in demand amid rising global conflicts. Telecom providers are supporting Ukraine with free calls, roaming waivers, and refugee assistance such as SIM cards and free Wi-Fi.

ExteNet Systems Signed a Deal with T-Mobile to Build Digital Wireless Infrastructure

ExteNet Systems announced a deal with T-Mobile in November 2022 to build digital wireless infrastructure at major venues and streamline T-Mobile's network post-merger with Sprint. This agreement focuses on optimizing and retiring outdated network resources.

Growing Need for Edge Data Centers and DAS to Fuel Market Growth

Wireless infrastructure is evolving through strategies such as network densification, cloud integration, and spectrum innovation. OpenRAN is revolutionizing deployments by enabling interoperability and attracting new vendors. Edge data centers meet the growing demand for real-time services in AR, AI, and IoT. Repurposed spectrum bands, such as 850 MHz and 1900 MHz, are now powering 5G networks. Additionally, Distributed Antenna Systems improve signal strength and coverage in high-capacity environments, boosting infrastructure efficiency and reliability.

However, high costs associated with designing and developing wireless infrastructure components such as transmitters, processors, and sensors, hinder wireless infrastructure market growth.
