Global FWA Market Poised for 33% Growth in 2025, Reaching $72 Billion
According to a recent report by market research firm TrendForce, the global Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) market is expected to grow by 33% year-over-year, reaching $72 billion in 2025. This surge is driven by major international telecom operators shifting their focus toward FWA services due to its cost-effectiveness and rapid deployment capabilities.
In the United States, operators such as T-Mobile and Verizon are increasingly prioritizing FWA over fiber deployments due to lower infrastructure costs and faster market penetration. Similarly, in India, Jio Reliance and Bharti Airtel are accelerating 5G FWA deployments, particularly in rural areas, to bridge the digital divide and expand broadband connectivity.
The report indicates that the global FWA market was valued at $43.2 billion in 2023 and grew to $54 billion in 2024. This rapid growth trajectory highlights the increasing adoption of FWA technology as a viable alternative to traditional fixed broadband solutions.
TrendForce further suggests that U.S. telecom providers are transitioning from a dual investment strategy in both fiber and FWA to a more focused approach emphasizing FWA. This shift underscores the technology’s growing significance in delivering high-speed internet access with reduced capital expenditure and faster deployment.
Additionally, research by ABI highlights the competitive landscape of FWA Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) suppliers, recognizing key players driving the industry forward. As telecom operators worldwide continue to invest in FWA solutions, the market is set to experience sustained expansion, providing enhanced connectivity to underserved regions.
