5G Base Station Equipment Market 2025
The industry is prioritizing power-efficient base station designs to reduce operational costs and meet sustainability targets. Modern 5G base stations now consume 30-40% less energy than
Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
Globally, 5G is being deployed at two different paces, with China supporting half of the base transceiver station (BTS) market while the rest of Asia, Europe, the U.S. and late 5G entrant India dominate the balance of the market. Figure 1 shows our latest base station forecast by region. Figure 1 Macro/Micro regional BTS forecast.
The total cost of 5G infrastructure is staggering, with projections estimating that telecom companies will spend over $2 trillion globally by 2030. This includes investments in spectrum, network densification, fiber backhaul, energy-efficient infrastructure, and emerging technologies such as AI and automation.
Capital expenditures (CapEx) for 5G are expected to reach $250 billion by 2025. This includes spending on new towers, spectrum, software, and operational upgrades. Telcos are under pressure to balance these massive investments while maintaining profitability.
