4G Equipment Market Report by Component (Infrastructure Equipment, Testing Equipment), Application (LTE, Wi-Max), End Use (Logistics, E-Commerce, Smartphone, and Others), and Region 2024-2032


The global 4G equipment market size reached US$ 97.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 440.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8% during 2024-2032.

4G equipment are fourth-generation wireless communication systems with upgraded data transmission speed and network enhancements. The equipment is categorized into Long-term Equipment (LTE) and Wi-max devices, which include macrocells, small cells, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and testing equipment. They are commonly used for applications that involve virtual presence, navigation, crisis management, telemedicine, remote education, multimedia sharing and tele geoprocessing. These devices are integrated into smart devices, such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks and are more secure than Wi-Fi spots. They also enable the users to get online without plugging into a proprietary system. As a result, they find extensive applications across various industries, including information technology (IT), telecommunication, ecommerce and retail.
