6G Network Infrastructure, Global, 2029–2034

The sixth generation of wireless technology (6G) is now on the horizon. Each of the previous five generations has proven to bring new capabilities and new possibilities to wireless communications and 6G will continue that trend. By the end of the decade, the details of what exactly 6G will bring will be clear, but for now there are strong indications of the direction enhancements will go, and which new capabilities will be included.4G primarily focused on the consumer market, while 5G added more focus on the enterprise market. There is less room for growth in the consumer market as it is saturated in many areas of the world. The enterprise market holds greater growth potential. Frost & Sullivan believes that 5G success overall mirrors the level of growth within the enterprise market. 6G will continue to focus on the needs of enterprises, while also continuing to support the larger, but slower growing, consumer market. This Frost & Sullivan market insight presents an assessment of the market opportunity for 6G network infrastructure. It outlines the important technologies and market development shaping the 6G market, and details the various ways in which 6G will present differentiated opportunities to support high fidelity communication.
