Market Growth Factors

The German 5G technology market is expected to grow due to a high demand for industrial integration of IoT in manufacturing. In 2022, manufacturing contributed 26.6% of gross value added in Germany. Automotive, engineering and heavy industries would benefit from increased 5G high speed and low latency support for smart machines, robotic arms and real-time data processing. Improvements to the current state of the art will help reduce loss of production, increase efficiency and productivity within the factory and production line.

Another important driver towards the expansion of TAM is Industry 4.0 with real time data analytics, AI-based automation, predictive maintenance. 5G will become the only way to get uninterrupted ultra-reliable low-latency access to IoT devices such as sensors and machinery which will be a requirement. Other industries, such as logistics and supply chain management, benefit from faster tracking, automation, and remote monitoring because of 5G technology.

Consumers want better mobile coverage now. 5G coverage in Germany covers 85% of the area. Actual 5G usage involves only 40% of the population. There is demand in bandwidth-intense services such as mobile video streaming, online gaming and augmented reality. Telecom operators such as Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telef nica Deutschland invest heavily in 5G networks and promote 5G services by stressing better mobile connectivity in environments with high traffic loads, as well as at events with large crowds.
