Cellular Modem Market Size is valued at USD 4.05 Billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 19.66 Billion by the year 2031 at a 19.33% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
A cellular modem enables electronic devices to access the Internet using cellular networks. This gadget uses the cellular network architecture to transmit data and communicate between the device and the network. These provide dependable and high-speed internet connectivity to various devices and systems, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, IoT devices, industrial machinery, automotive systems, and more. 5G cellular modems are in great demand due to the revolutionary changes in communication brought about by the advent of 5G technology in the past few years. Furthermore, the broad usage of telemedicine and other types of remote healthcare, as well as the increasing number of digital payments in the financial technology sector, are two aspects that present opportunities for the market to expand.
However, the market growth is hampered by the strict regulatory criteria for the safety and health of the cellular modem market and the product's inability to prevent fog in environments with dramatic temperature fluctuations or high cellular modems. Businesses and organizations installing IoT devices face significant difficulty in places with poor cellular network coverage, such as distant or rural areas.
The low population density and potentially difficult topography make it economically impracticable for telecommunication firms to construct cellular network infrastructure in these places. COVID-19 has become a major health issue on a global scale. As the virus spread rapidly, the government instituted lockdowns, quarantines, border restrictions, and the suspension of economic activities. The raw materials supply to multiple countries was negatively impacted as a consequence of the disruptions in the supply chain. Multiple annoyances have resulted from the numerous limitations, including quarantine protocols, border closures, and lockdowns.

Market Segmentation:
The cellular modem market is segmented based on type, technology, and verticality. Based on type, the market is segmented into embedded cellular modems and box portable cellular modems. By technology, the market is segmented into 2G, 3 G,4G,5G, NB-IoT, and LTE-M. By vertical, the market is segmented into agriculture, automotive & transportation, smart cities, and healthcare.
Based On The Type, The Portable Cellular Modem Box Market Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor To The Cellular Modem Market.
The portable box cellular modem market is expected to hold a major global market share in 2022. Portable cellular modem inboxes are becoming more popular as the need for fast and dependable internet connections grows in many sectors and applications. These modems are a great option when looking for reliable internet connectivity but want to avoid dealing with complicated installations or a lot of wire. The rising popularity of online learning, telemedicine, and remote work has magnified the demand for reliable and fast Internet connections. Because of their plug-and-play feature, box portable cellular modems are ideal for short-term installations, outlying areas, and companies seeking simple ways to go online.
Healthcare Segment To Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate.
The healthcare industry makes up most of cellular modem usage because cellular modems are most commonly used for telemedicine and RPM. Patients in far-flung areas or those with long-term health issues can monitor their heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels using medical equipment with cellular modems. Patients benefit from better outcomes and fewer hospital readmissions since the data is sent to healthcare providers in real-time, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
In The Region, The North American Cellular Modem Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.
The North American cellular modem market is expected to record the maximum market revenue share in the near future. It can be attributed to the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart gadgets like smartphones, tablets, and wearables, which are becoming increasingly popular. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow rapidly in the global cellular modem market because of the proliferation of internet users and the fast growth of urban areas, particularly in areas where wired broadband connections are scarce.
Recent Developments:
- In October 2023, Airgain, Inc.'s new LumosTMī¸ 5G Fixed Wireless Access Antenna enhanced the performance of connected devices. Lumos' multiband, directional antenna design and 2x2 and 4x4 MIMO configurations for LTE and 5G might have been the answer for cellular-based devices. This included enterprise routers, indoor fixed wireless access (FWA) devices, customer premises equipment (CPE), and many more.
- In November 2023, Huawei and Sharp inked a new, long-term, global patent cross-licensing agreement covering essential cellular standard patents, including those for 4G and 5G.
