"The fixed wireless access (FWA) market has become one of the most interesting and potentially lucrative sectors in the mobile industry and the annual study by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) has confirmed the momentum and scale of 5G in the sector, with increased adoption and uptake of 5G FWA across all continents, enabling operators to unlock new broadband service opportunities."
"The results revealed that FWA customer premises equipment (CPE) vendors expect shipments to accelerate, growing 26% in 2025 to reach 35.3 million units. Reported 2024 total CPE shipments were 28 million, a 22% increase compared to 2023. Globally, 5G FWA is increasingly the norm with, for the first time, over half the world - four out of seven regions - reporting that over 50% of FWA CPE shipments in 2024 were 5G-enabled."
"5G-enabled FWA shipments are now established as the mainstream globally, reaching 16.8 million in 2024. The study predicted that growth will continue, with consolidated shipments of the representative cross-section of FWA CPE vendors surveyed expected to grow to 20.1 million in 2025, a 19% increase - accounting for 57% of 2025 shipments and compared with 60% in 2024. FWA supporting 5G standalone (SA) adoption stood at 95% of 5G CPE shipments in 2024."
The fixed wireless access market is expanding as 5G-enabled FWA adoption rises globally, creating new broadband opportunities for operators. Total CPE shipments reached 28 million in 2024, up 22% from 2023, and vendors expect shipments to grow 26% to 35.3 million units in 2025. For the first time, four of seven regions reported that over half of FWA CPE shipments were 5G-enabled in 2024. North America and India reported 5G CPE shares of 93% and 92% respectively, while Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa accounted for 35% and 30% of 5G CPE shipments. 5G-enabled FWA shipments totaled 16.8 million in 2024, consolidated vendor shipments are expected to reach 20.1 million in 2025, and 5G standalone adoption comprised 95% of 5G CPE shipments with SA-enabled CPE shipments projected to grow to 17.7 million in 2025.
