Cellular Modem Market by Type (Box Cellular Modem, Embedded Cellular Modem), Technology (2G, 3G, 4G), Industry Vertical - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Cellular Modem Market size was estimated at USD 10.88 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 12.33 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 14.10% to reach USD 27.41 billion by 2030.

A cellular modem is a type of modem that securely connects various devices to a cellular network, enabling data exchange. It is a hardware device that modulates one or more carrier wave signals for encoding digital information for transmission and then, demodulates signals to decode the transmitted information. They can support wide-ranging technology standards, including 3G, 4G, 5G, CDMA, GSM, and many more. Increased demand for smart devices and IoT connectivity has accelerated the need for secular cellular connections, raising the need for modems. However, technical hitches such as poor quality of voice and video communication during high-speed data transfers and security breach issues are dampening the modem adoption. With advancements in technology and robust R&D efforts, market players are expected to address these concerns. The rising adoption of 5G technology is consequently driving the volume of 5G-enabled cellular modems. The developing trends of machine learning, artificial intelligence, smart homes, and autonomous vehicles will further solidify the exponential growth of the cellular modem market in the near future.
