The global massive MIMO market is segmented based on Spectrum (into TDD and FDD), Technology (into LTE Advance, LTE Advance Pro, and 5G), Type of Antennas (16T16R, 32T32R, 64T64R, and others), and geographies (into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Rest of the World).

Market Highlights

  • The TDD spectrum segment has the largest market share as they improve customer experience by providing high data rates and a huge capacity for data and HD voice at a comparatively economical operator’s cost per bit. It also provides spectrum flexibility, and runs in multiple spectrum bands, thus enabling easier roaming, high capacity, and high user throughput with carrier aggregation. 
  • Additionally, the 64T64 type of antenna segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share, owing to its increasing adoption attributed to its high capacity.
  • Furthermore, the LTE Advanced Technology held the largest market share, as the technology helps to resolve bandwidth issues.
  • The 5G market segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, due to its capability to enable new high-frequency bands. The segment is also witnessing growth attributing to increased customer satisfaction as it offers, significant gains to accommodate more users at high data rates with better reliability while consuming less power.  
  • In June 2021, NEC Corporation announced to introduction of radio units for 5G base stations till 2022. The radio units will be adaptable with the n77, n78, and C-Band 3.7GHz frequency band (3.3-4.2GHz). Additionally, high-speed, high-capacity communications between a wider range of terminals will be provided by massive MIMO-enabled ultra-multi-element antennas and digital beamforming for high-precision beams.
  • The Asia-Pacific region held the largest market share, with China being the major contributor. For instance, in March 2024, Huawei and Chinese Unicom announced an early progress in 5G-A (5G-Advanced). The technology is capable of delivering continuous coverage and showcasing a range of advanced technologies and applications.
  • In October 2022, EE, a part of BT group teamed with Ericsson to deliver 5G energy efficiency and network performance across the UK using the ultra-light radio technology developed by Ericsson. It would be the lightest and smallest Massive MIMO radio with energy efficient feature reducing up to 40.0% energy usage. In the initial stages, EE plans to deploy the equipment in London, thereafter expanding to more urban and suburban areas. 

The major players in the global massive MIMO market include Verizon, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Airtel India, CommScope Holding Company, Inc., Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Samsung C&T, Corporation, ZTE Corporation, Nokia, Telstra, Deutsche Telekom AG and more.  The market players are contributing significantly towards market growth by the adoption of various business strategies. In September 2022, NEC and Mavenir deployed massive MIMO Orange's 5G standalone (SA) experimental network. The deployment is an important milestone to develop Open RAN and make the switch from virtualized to cloudified networks.
