5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Market Size is valued at 5.5 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 192.0 billion by the year 2034 at a 43.1% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
In order to offer users 5G wireless access, 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) utilize satellites or high-altitude platforms like drones or balloons. The difficulties of delivering connectivity in remote or difficult-to-reach places, where conventional terrestrial networks are not practicable, are being addressed by the development of these networks. Many advantages are anticipated from 5G NTN, including more capacity and coverage, less latency, and enhanced dependability. Additionally, a broad range of applications, such as internet of things (IoT) gadgets, self-driving cars, and remote medical services, are anticipated to be supported.
The use of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) in mining activities is also conceivable. In the mining business, it might be challenging to access remote locations because typical terrestrial networks might not be stable or available. To enable real-time monitoring, control, and communication between employees, equipment, and operations, NTN can be utilised to deliver high-speed and dependable wireless connection to mining sites. Mining businesses are implementing the most-latest automation technologies to improve operations. For instance, Ericsson and the Swedish mine operator Boliden worked together to create an autonomous gold mine where Ericsson implemented the 5G network. As more vessels are needed to handle high data rates for applications like video and file transmission, there is an increasing demand for 5G NTN solutions.
The 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks market is segmented on the basis of component type, platform, application, location, and end-user. Based on component type, the market is segmented as hardware, solutions, and services. The platform segment includes Unidentified Aerial System (UAS) Platform, Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellite, and Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) Satellite. By application, the market is segmented into Enhanced Mobile Broadband (EMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (MMTC). The platform segment includes urban, rural, remote, and isolated. By end-user, the market is segmented as aerospace & defense, government, it & telecom, mining, maritime, and others.
Operators can use 5G NTN solutions to minimize operational costs while delivering a superior connectivity experience using 5G technologies. The 5G NTN solutions can offer high network coverage without bounds by merging with satellite communication. Before introducing the system into the market, several top firms offer 5G NTN test solutions to ensure its dependability, affordability, and effectiveness. Test solutions help resolve issues businesses have with the system's scalability, compatibility with long-distance coverage, mobility, satellite movement, speed, quality, and reliability in meeting demand, as well as its capacity for multi-layer communication.
The NTN system will increase network coverage to a variety of locales without terrestrial coverage, guarantee connectivity in rural areas with little to no Internet access, and support remote businesses like mining and oil and gas development.
The usage of 5G solutions and services in remote education is rising to support remote working. Several businesses are concentrating on changing the laws and regulations to permit remote work and the transfer of employees from urban to rural areas. To provide network coverage in remote locations with cost-effectiveness and manageable technological complexity, they are deploying satellites in LEO, MEO, and GEO. The deployment of a highly spread network and network connectivity in an emergency and safety situation is the goal of 5G NTN in a distant location.
The majority of the global 5G NTN market is anticipated to be in North America. In this area, 5G NTN technology has a high acceptance rate in the US. The growth of smart connected devices, the Industrial Internet of Everything (lloE), and the growing commercialization of 5G services are the drivers that are popularising the demand for 5G NTN solutions in this sector. The percentage of 5G connections in North America was 14% in 2022, according to the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSMA) study The Mobile Economy and is predicted to increase to 64% by the end of 2025.

Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
