Massive MIMO Market Expected to Reach $63.6 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Massive MIMO Market Technology, Spectrum, and Antenna Array Type". The massive MIMO market size was valued at $2.9 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $63.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 36.5% from 2023 to 2032.

Massive MIMO (ORI) essentially groups together antennas at the transmitter and receiver to provide better throughput and better spectrum efficiency. For instance, Huawei, ZTE, and Facebook have demonstrated Massive MIMO systems with as many as 96 to 128 antennas. They aim to allow the transmitting and receiving of more than one data signal simultaneously over a large radio channel.

The global massive MIMO industry is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period, owing to the development of massive MIMO technology for indoor to enhance capacity. Furthermore, numerous advantages of massive MIMO such as ease in installation of antennas, higher bandwidth offering, and beam formation technology fuel the growth of the massive MIMO market. However, usage of the FDD spectrum across the globe for network technologies restrains the massive MIMO market growth due to its efficient operation in the TDD spectrum.

In addition, in October 2022, EE, an internet service provider that is part of the BT group, and Ericsson collaborated to use Ericsson's ultra-light radio technology to bring 5G energy efficiency and network performance throughout the United Kingdom. With an energy-efficient feature that can cut energy consumption by up to 40% and support broader environmental goals, the business says that this is the lightest and smallest Massive MIMO radio available. Initially, EE intends to install the equipment in London, and then proceed with various locations.

Some potential benefits include less interference, purposeful jamming, and greater connection dependability as a result of more signal pathways. Massive MIMO networks will enhance indoor coverage as well as responsiveness to high-frequency devices. For example, Nokia debuted its new AirScae Massive MIMO 5G radios—Habrok—for corporate networks and telecom operators during the Mobile World Congress in 2023. Users may access the most recent ReefShark SoC from Nokia with Habrok radios. It comes in 32 TRX and 64 TRX variants, addressing all potential use cases and situations for large MIMO deployment.

With the introduction of 5G networks, massive multiple input multiple outputs will become more commonplace, and as 3GPP requirements and technology progress, bigger antenna arrays will become possible. Soon, mmWave-capable huge MIMO arrays will be widely available, significantly enhancing 5G's functionality and commercial potential.

To quickly deploy Advanced Antenna Systems (AAS), the company will combine beam forming, MIMO technology, and antenna arrays with RF transmission and signal processing capabilities. With mmWave, AAS will be more compact and straightforward, allowing for 5G interior coverage and network densification.

Uninterruptible connection is becoming more and more necessary as network generations, such as LTE and 5G, progress technologically. The market may continue to benefit from current 4G FDD networks while improving the performance of 5G FDD networks with the inclusion of MIMO into the networks. The 5G massive MIMO antenna is likely to develop at a faster rate due to the telcos' increased focus on pushing 5G services. 

MIMO technology is used by cellular and Wi-Fi networks to improve a computer's network capacity, maximum data transfer rate, and spectrum efficiency. Due to the more complex and inefficient beam forming process, it is only effective with rapidly moving objects. Devices that often traverse your business network do not benefit from MU-MIMO.
