6G Market Analysis

The 6G Market is expected to register a CAGR of 31.48% during the forecast period.

  • 6G is anticipated to become available in the 2030s, building on societal, consumer, and industry use-case mobile connectivity breakthroughs enabled by the high-end capabilities of 5G. It is expected that 6G will contribute to a more innovative, more sustainable, and more efficient society with new uses for multisensory extended realities, precision health care, smart agricultural cobot, and intelligent autonomous systems by merging the digital and physical worlds.
  • The increasing emphasis on connectivity and demand for 6G communication in newly developing technologies, e.g., the Internet of Things or cryptocurrencies, are significant factors contributing to the industry's growth. The introduction of high-speed Internet and remote connectivity, which are fundamental to the characteristics of 6G technologies, will be conducive to commercializing such communication technologies.
  • Rapid urbanization and communication, now a fundamental right for human nutrition, will also play an essential role in shaping the market. A large population has already moved to the big cities for increased opportunities and better living. The critical role of communication and connectivity in this transition has been played. Moreover, the adoption of 6G technology will be significantly influenced by growing efforts toward supporting smarter cities and population growth in urban areas.
  • In order to ensure the reliability of Internet of Things devices and networks, 6G will likely draw on the original success of 5G. Moreover, the emergence of 6G will coincide with a much larger level of automation and intelligent devices, such as warehouse robots at production sites, in view of its lower latency and higher data load compared to 5G.
  • Further, to enable the development of 5G ecosystems and to support 6G research in Europe, the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking selected its first portfolio of 35 R&I and trial projects. The objective is to create a first-class European supply chain in the field of advanced 5G systems as well as build Europe's capacity for 6G technology. These investments are significantly driving the market growth rate.

6G Industry Overview

The 6G technology market is poised for significant growth, prompting companies to collaborate and devise cohesive strategies to stay competitive in this fiercely contested arena. Such enterprises, sharing a product portfolio and seeking additional resources to meet their goals, often engage in collaborative ventures, known as Joint Venture Programmes. These initiatives facilitate resource sharing and accelerate progress. Notably, the 6G market is dominated by major players making substantial investments in development, with an eye on future commercial deployment.

In November 2022, NTT DoCoMo and South Korea's SK Telecom (SKT) announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing both 5G and 6G cellular technologies. Their collaborative efforts extend to the development of open and virtualized radio access network (RAN) technology. This move aligns with the evolving global landscape as various regions position themselves for the rollout of next-generation cellular technologies.

In November 2022, in a concerted effort to bolster the United Kingdom's wireless communications capabilities, Ericsson committed to establishing a new research team in the country as part of a multi-million-pound investment. Over the next decade, Ericsson plans to inject GBP 10 million into a UK-based program dedicated to 6G research and groundbreaking innovations. This initiative underscores the growing importance of 6G technology on a global scale.
