LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The fifth generation (5G) radio access network (RAN) market is rapidly evolving, driven by the escalating demand for faster and more reliable mobile connectivity. As technology advances and new applications emerge, this market is set to witness remarkable growth over the coming years. Below is a detailed look at the market size, growth drivers, regional outlook, and key factors shaping the 5G RAN landscape.

Market Expansion and Future Outlook for the 5G Radio Access Network Market
The 5G radio access network market has experienced significant growth recently and is projected to continue this upward trajectory. It is expected to increase from $17.09 billion in 2025 to $21.45 billion in 2026, reflecting a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5%. This past growth has been fueled by factors such as rising demand for high-speed mobile connectivity, initial upgrades from 4G-LTE networks, expanding smartphone and IoT device adoption, growing need for low-latency applications, and early investments in both macro and small cell infrastructure.

Looking ahead, the 5G RAN market is set for even more exponential growth, with projections estimating it will reach $53.68 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 25.8%. This surge is expected to be driven by the ongoing rollout of 5G networks, increasing adoption of Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) and Virtual RAN (vRAN) architectures, integration of AI-based network management tools, expansion of private 5G networks across enterprises, and greater use of network slicing alongside advanced MIMO technologies. Key trends anticipated during this period include enhanced network optimization and performance management, widespread deployment of massive MIMO, broader adoption of beamforming, cloud-based RAN implementations, and further integration of ORAN systems.

Understanding the Role of 5G Radio Access Network
The fifth-generation (5G) radio access network forms a critical component of the overall 5G ecosystem by linking user devices with the core network through radio signals. This technology enables ultra-fast, reliable, and low-latency wireless connectivity, which supports applications such as enhanced mobile broadband, massive Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). 5G RAN improves spectral efficiency, expands network coverage, and delivers smooth user experiences across a wide variety of devices and services.

Key Drivers Behind Growth in the 5G Radio Access Network Market
One of the main factors accelerating the 5G RAN market is the rapid adoption of IoT connectivity. IoT refers to the interconnected network of physical devices, sensors, and appliances that exchange data over the internet, enabling automation, real-time monitoring, and smart applications across diverse industries and homes. The surge in IoT uptake is largely powered by the availability of real-time data.

5G radio access networks support IoT growth by offering ultra-low latency and the capacity to connect a massive number of devices, ensuring reliable communication even in large-scale deployments. For example, in November 2025, the Office of Communications in the UK reported that active IoT connections on mobile network operator (MNO) networks reached 27.7 million, marking a 4% increase year-over-year, while IoT traffic modestly rose to 2 petabytes. This expanding networked device ecosystem serves as a strong catalyst for 5G RAN market growth.

Regional Market Leadership and Growth Patterns in 5G RAN
In 2025, North America held the largest share of the 5G radio access network market, reflecting strong infrastructure development and early technology adoption in the region. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, driven by rapidly expanding mobile user bases, government initiatives, and increasing investments in 5G infrastructure.

The comprehensive market analysis includes coverage of key regions such as Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing a broad perspective on global trends and growth opportunities within the 5G RAN sector.
