The global 5G NTN market size is expected to reach USD 139.51 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “5G NTN Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Component (Hardware, Software, and Services), Platform, Application, Location, End User, and Region; Segment Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) market refers to the segment within the telecommunications industry that focuses on extending 5G connectivity beyond traditional terrestrial networks. It includes technologies such as satellite-based systems, high-altitude platforms (HAPs) like drones or balloons, and other airborne platforms. These non-terrestrial solutions complement terrestrial networks by providing coverage in remote, rural, maritime, or disaster-prone areas where ground-based infrastructure is limited or absent.

Increasing demand for widespread connectivity; advancements in satellite technology; regulatory support; and partnerships between telecom operators, satellite providers, and technology firms are driving innovation and the 5G NTN market expansion. Furthermore, continuous advancements in satellite technology are expected to impact the 5G NTN industry. These include innovations in satellite design, launch capabilities, and strategic collaboration.

In September 2023, China Telecom, ZTE, and SpaceIoT successfully deployed the first 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) in a marine scenario. This collaboration highlights capabilities for real-time, multi-terminal services such as marine water quality monitoring, humidity and temperature monitoring, and emergency rescue on uninhabited islands. Enhanced satellite technologies promise expanded coverage, faster data transfer rates, and reduced costs, enhancing the accessibility and reliability of satellite-based 5G solutions for global connectivity.
