The demand for faster data speeds is anticipated to rise with the demand for edge computing and IoT devices' data volume. 5G technologies will make unmatched data rates possible, enhancing real-time data processing capabilities and the entire user experience. Thus, driving the 5G market revenue.
The 5G market segmentation, based on components, includes phantom cell and device-to-device communication. The device-to-device communication segment dominated the market, accounting for 80.4% of market revenue (5.5 Billion). Device-to-device communication has several advantages, including better spectrum and energy efficiency, cellular coverage, and resource consumption. D2D communication is consequently being used more frequently, which significantly affects market expansion. The need for device-to-device (D2D) communication in new technologies has increased due to quick infrastructure growth, ongoing digitalization, autonomous computing, and device collaboration. However, the phantom cell sector witnessed a significant growth rate. There is no easy way to identify the caller because these calls usually use fake numbers as caller IDs. However, after a short but perceptible wait, the call will be answered and transferred to a call center worker who will try to sell you something.
