Counterpoint Macro Index Report, Q2 2024

Overview:

Counterpoint’s Macro Index declined slightly to 88.45 at the end of Q2 2024, from 90.01 in Q1 2024. The three-month outlook is expected to improve slightly. The political environment remains tense, but tech sentiment remains buoyant. We maintain a positive 12-month outlook.

This uptick can be attributed to improving economic prospects across most regions, as inflation continues to trend lower while business activity increases. Tech sentiment remains high due to continued AI frenzy, key semiconductor indicators on the recovery, and a rebound in consumer sentiment. However, global conflict remains tense, while the political situation reaches a boiling point in both the US and Europe.

Fixed Wireless Access and Consumer Premise Equipment Ecosystem and Forecast Update, July 2024

Overview:

In 2023, 55% of the households globally (excluding China) did not have access to fixed broadband. This number will reduce to 37% by the end of 2030.   While fiber optic currently dominates the fixed broadband landscape and will maintain leadership until 2030, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) offers great potential for narrowing the digital divide, especially in bridging the “last mile” connection gap.

5G FWA subscription is forecasted to have a 51.4% CAGR between 2024-2030.  As for FWA-CPE shipments, 5G Sub-6 GHz technology will dominate by 2025. However, 5G mmWave FWA services will remain a niche till 2028.

This report provides a deep analysis of which countries/regions currently hold the top positions in terms of 5G FWA subscribers and which one will provide the most significant growth potential. It presents the outlook till 2030 on the 4G and 5G FWA subscribers and FWA-CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) volume by region. For 5G FWA, It provides key drivers of FWA adoption by country, such as network readiness, ARPU, market maturity, and others. What drivers will push the growth, and where would be the biggest drawback. The affordability of 5G FWA-CPE is crucial for driving adoption in emerging markets. This report not only examines the key factors but also forecasts the Average Selling Price (ASP) trajectory for 5G FWA-CPE devices
