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

USA FWA Subscriber and CPE Forecast – Consumer 2019-2027

Overview:

In 2022, 22% of US households did not have access to fixed broadband. This number will be reduced to 2% by the end of 2027. While 71 million (55%) US households utilize VDSL/cable technology, 63 million utilize cable technology. Growth of fiber/FTTH has been slow and costly. Despite the coverage announcement, the last-mile connection has proven difficult to set up.  US mobile operators believe FWA is an opportunity to gain additional revenues with limited to zero incremental investments in many areas, some being metro and some rural.

This report provides actuals and outlook till 2027 on the 4G and 5G FWA subscribers and FWA-CPE unit sales. It also includes a forecast on the 4G and 5G FWA-CPE ASP in the US. It analyses the fixed broadband market by technology and operator’s (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, WISPA, among others) performance and strategies.

FWA Landscape in Kuwait and Jordan

Overview:

In 2022, 98% of Kuwait’s households had access to fixed broadband. The country is expected to achieve 100% fixed broadband penetration by this year. With rapid deployment of 5G in the region and 5G SA expected to come up sometime at the end of 2023, 5G FWA is expected to pick up the pace, especially among subscribers with lower speed plans on wired broadband. In Jordan 4G will continue to drive most of the growth for another couple of years before 5G takes the lead. 5G FWA will drive growth from 2025 onwards once more robust infrastructure is in place and Jordan attains much more clarity on tariffs and CPEs. This report talks about the current FWA landscape in Kuwait and Jordan, it also talks about the strategies and pricing plans of key operators in these nations and forecast of future 5G CPE shipments in these countries.
