Massive MIMO Market Expected to Reach $63.6 Billion

The massive MIMO market is expected to witness notable growth owing to ease in deployment of massive MIMOs and adoption of 5G network technology. Moreover, the development of indoor massive MIMO is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, government network radiation rules limit the growth of telecom network.

By spectrum, the TDD segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than four-fifth of the global massive MIMO industry revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. The expansion of TDD spectrum is driven by the need for faster data rates as well as the rise of data-intensive applications like streaming, online gaming, and augmented reality.

As TDD can effectively assign time slots according to different types of data requirements, it is a good fit for handling the growing demand for capacity and bandwidth in wireless networks. However, the FDD segment is projected to attain the highest CAGR of 37.71% from 2023 to 2032.

By antenna array type, the 64T64R segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than three-fifth of the global massive MIMO market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period, as increased capacity of the 64T64R antenna array becomes important in an era marked by the growth of IoT devices, smart infrastructure, and the constant need for high-bandwidth applications, such as augmented reality and 4K video streaming. In addition, the same segment is projected to attain the highest CAGR of 37.2% from 2023 to 2032.
