The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Ericsson AB, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Nokia Corporation, ZTE Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. dominate the 5G technology and infrastructure market, alongside Cisco Systems, Inc., NEC Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Dell Technologies Inc. These ten companies lead through end-to-end solutions encompassing core networks, radio access networks (RAN), cloud-native architectures, and edge computing innovations. Ericsson pioneers scalable 5G Core with network slicing and AI automation, enabling operators worldwide to deploy agile services amid rapid digital transformation. Huawei excels in software-driven, resilient networks supporting standalone deployments and enterprise scalability, maintaining strong global penetration despite regulatory challenges. Nokia emphasizes secure, flexible cloud-native platforms with vertical-specific integrations for sectors like manufacturing and logistics. ZTE advances cost-effective systems with edge computing focus, expanding in Asia-Pacific via high-performance base stations and AI-powered fixed wireless access. Samsung delivers modular RAN and core platforms, including massive MIMO antennas, accelerating connectivity for telecoms and high-speed applications.
Cisco Systems, Inc., NEC Corporation, and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. bolster infrastructure with cybersecurity, virtualization, and chipset leadership. Cisco provides virtualized 5G Core emphasizing operational efficiency, managed services, and seamless multi-cloud integration for enterprises. NEC offers interoperable solutions combining professional services, automation, and orchestration tailored to regional challenges in smart cities and telecom. Qualcomm drives Open RAN and semiconductor innovations, enabling energy-efficient deployments with partners like Vodafone and Reliance Jio, powering modems, RF systems, and automotive connectivity. These firms compete via R&D investments, alliances, and mergers, addressing spectrum fragmentation, security, and low-latency demands in ultra-reliable networks. Market leaders like Ericsson and Nokia secure major deals, such as Bharti Airtel in India and TIM Brasil expansions, while Huawei leads in China with millions of base stations.
Dell Technologies Inc. completes the top tier with hardware-software ecosystems optimized for 5G scalability. Dell focuses on open, standards-based infrastructure, high-performance servers, and supply chain resilience for multi-cloud 5G cores. Collectively, these companies propel a market projected to surge from $43.5 billion in 2025 to over $675 billion by 2034, fueled by AI optimization, private networks, and applications in healthcare, mining, and autonomous systems. Asia-Pacific leads deployments, with North America and Europe following through government-backed rollouts and innovations in mmWave components. Strategic collaborations, like ZTE-Qualcomm AI products at MWC 2025, underscore their role in global connectivity backbones.
