The global 5G testing equipment market size is expected to reach USD 5,084.10 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "5G Testing Equipment Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Equipment, Revenue Source (New and Rental), Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Cloud-native solutions are emerging as a key trend in the 5G testing equipment market, driven by the growing shift towards virtualized and software-defined networks. Testing equipment must ensure the performance and security of virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-based infrastructure as 5G networks become more complex and distributed. Cloud-native testing solutions provide scalability, flexibility, and automation, enabling continuous monitoring and validation of network components in real time. These solutions also facilitate the seamless integration of different 5G network layers, addressing the growing demand for efficient network deployment and management. Additionally, the increasing adoption of edge computing and AI-powered testing accelerates the need for cloud-native capabilities.
Miniaturization and testing for small form factors are other major 5G testing equipment market trends, fueled by the increasing integration of 5G technology into compact devices, such as smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices. These devices require specialized testing to ensure optimal performance, especially in terms of signal strength, data transfer speeds, and network reliability. Testing equipment is evolving to accommodate smaller antennas, chips, and modules that are crucial for 5G functionality in portable devices. Additionally, the miniaturization of 5G-enabled devices necessitates advanced testing tools capable of performing high-precision, high-frequency tests while maintaining portability and cost-efficiency.
In terms of revenue source, in 2024, the rental segment led the 5G testing equipment market. The high cost of purchasing advanced testing equipment has made rental solutions more practical and cost-effective for many companies.
Based on equipment, the network analyzers segment is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, owing to the essential role of network analyzers in ensuring seamless communication across complex and high-performance 5G networks.
North America dominated the 5G testing equipment market in 2024, driven by early 5G network deployment and significant research and development investments by leading technology companies.
The Asia Pacific 5G testing equipment market is anticipated to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period, fueled by the rapid rollout of 5G networks in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India.
A few of the global key market players are Anritsu; Artiza Networks, Inc.; EXFO Inc.; Fortive; Intertek Group Plc; Keysight Technologies; MACOM; Rohde & Schwarz; Ceragon; Teradyne Inc.; and VIAVI Solutions Inc.
