Impact of COVID-19
The current estimation of 2031 is projected to be lower than pre-COVID-19 estimates. The COVID-19 outbreak has low impact on the growth of the telecommunication services market, owing to the fact that the government and private sectors in emerging countries are working together to speed up the development of 5G infrastructure in the wake of the pandemic. For instance, in Thailand, mobile network operators (MNO) are joining forces to provide 5G networks to hospitals. The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which is a special development zone of Thailand, mandates that 5G must cover approximately 50% of the area in 2020, which means that the equipment installation must commence this year in industrial areas.
Top Impacting Factors
Increased mobile data traffic
Internet material is transported to different mobile consumer electronics, such as smartphones and tablets, through mobile data traffic. The industry is expanding due to the worldwide increase in mobile data traffic. By 2024, it is anticipated that global mobile traffic would have increased by a factor of 5, totaling 136EB each month. Additionally, it is anticipated that by 2024, 5G networks would handle almost one-third of all mobile data traffic worldwide. The demand for technologically advanced telecommunication networks is therefore projected to develop significantly as a result of the noticeable increase in mobile data traffic.
The market for telecommunication service is anticipated to be driven by a rise in network upgrading needs as a result of the exponential growth in mobile data traffic. Customers will benefit from effective network quality thanks to the rollout of the 5G network. Additionally, global mobile data traffic in 2018 increased by more than 71% year over year, totaling more than 138 Exabytes.
Fiber Deployment Required For Connectivity
Nowadays, telecommunications companies are augmenting its network capacity, this fact is becoming one of the most remarkable trends for telcos in 2022. Hence, fiber optics deployment is entering the largest investment cycle ever. The benefits provided by this astonishing technology can fulfill all customers’ needs and expectations, given that it scores higher than any other broadband technology. With 3 billion internet users in the world, who are looking for higher speed connectivity, innovations such as 5G network, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the Building (FTTB) have amplified the positioning of these network systems. Furthermore, this solution simplifies businesses processes and minimize costs in any sector if used efficiently, as we discussed previously in 2021 telecom trends. Moreover, connections to 5G are about to reach 1.34 billion in 2022, according to a report from CCS insight.
Moreover, fiber deployment, being a key issue in the digital development of territories, provides widespread access for all too very high-speed broadband. Data published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows an uneven deployment of fiber optics among OECD’s member countries.
