Market analysis by Communication Infrastructure

There are several segments within the 5G industrial IoT market in Australia which includes: small cell, macro cell, core network, network architecture, operational frequency, and end-user. Small cells have a low power level and cover a small area, while macro cells are used to cover large geographic areas, and comprise a higher power level. As such, macro cells have a higher market share in the segment, although small cells are also expected to grow as it is easier to deploy and provides a cost-effective solution.

Market analysis By Applications Core Network

As more organizations require better connectivity, network administrators are beginning to deviate from traditional network infrastructures. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two complementary virtualization technologies that are gaining traction in Australia's 5G Industrial IoT market. SDN separates the network control plane/management from the forwarding plane to improve network agility while maximizing resource utilization. NFV enables applications to run on software, rather than hardware, which increases flexibility and reduces costs. Both SDN and NFV are critical segments expected to experience high growth in Australia's 5G industrial IoT market.

Market analysis By Network Architecture

The Core Network is the central component of 5G infrastructure. It is responsible for managing all the data and voice traffic flowing through the network. It provides a platform for the end-to-end network connectivity, and it is where all the services are run. There are two popular technologies in this segment: Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). SDN is a network architecture that separates the control plane from the data plane, leading to a more flexible and programmable network. Meanwhile, NFV virtualizes all network functions and runs them on a hardware platform. Both SDN and NFV are critical enablers of 5G implementation. However, according to reports, SDN is expected to grow at a faster rate, primarily due to its flexibility and scalability.

Market analysis By End -User

According to Shivankar, Research Manager, 6Wresearch, The Australian 5G infrastructure market caters to different end-users, including residences, commercial users, industries, and governments. Each user segment has specific use cases and demands, with every segment expected to see significant growth. However, the industrial segment is expected to see the most growth, primarily due to the need to automate and digitize industrial processes such as remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and asset tracking.
