The in-building wireless market is estimated to be USD 22.58 billion in 2025 and reach USD 39.46 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 11.8%, from 2025 to 2030. As over 80% of mobile traffic now originates indoors, businesses are under mounting pressure to deliver seamless, secure, and high-capacity indoor networks. This shift is pronounced in healthcare, logistics, and high-density commercial campuses, where latency, security, and device density cannot be compromised. A recent collaboration between Cisco and Charter Communications to deliver managed private 5G and Wi-Fi 6 within enterprise environments highlights how service providers are evolving from passive bandwidth suppliers to infrastructure partners offering end-to-end control, security, and orchestration.
However, aging infrastructure in Tier-1 urban zones restricts hardware installation and signal propagation, often requiring invasive retrofitting or building-wide rewiring. Moreover, the inconsistent global approach to shared spectrum, such as fragmented CBRS licensing models in the US versus localized spectrum sandboxing in Asia Pacific creates uncertainty for enterprises planning cross-regional wireless strategies. Retrofitting heritage campuses such as Oxford University with modern in-building wireless systems requires customized engineering solutions due to structural constraints and strict preservation guidelines.
Moreover, public safety mandates in the US and parts of Europe now require public network-based emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS) to be present in large buildings, further fueling adoption. Compared to private networks, public deployments benefit from existing telecom backhaul and carrier partnerships, reducing the total cost of ownership for property managers. Their ubiquity, coupled with government mandates and high user expectations for carrier-agnostic indoor coverage, firmly positions public networks as the largest segment by market size.
Similarly, Google’s Bay View campus in California includes a multi-building CBRS-based wireless infrastructure supporting seamless mobility, zero-touch onboarding, and AR/VR workspace tools. These campuses prioritize high SLA environments, driving demand for professional services such as network planning, deployment, and managed services, particularly from service providers and neutral host operators. As commercial landlords and enterprises look to differentiate their assets through digital connectivity, indoor wireless becomes central to tenant satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and workplace efficiency, cementing this segment’s leadership in market share.
In contrast, Asia Pacific is experiencing rapid adoption momentum, fueled by government-backed smart building programs and expanding private network pilots across education, manufacturing, and logistics. For instance, SK Telecom partnered with Korean universities to roll out campus-wide private 5G networks, whereas Alibaba deployed hybrid DAS systems across its warehouse network to support smart logistics in China. Moreover, India’s GIFT City is emerging as a model for 5G-integrated commercial hubs, with spectrum-sharing strategies being tested in partnership with neutral hosts. This dual dynamic North America’s high-value, regulation-driven market and Asia Pacific’s fast, infrastructure-intensive expansion marks a pivotal shift in global in-building wireless strategy, with both regions shaping different growth trajectories.

Public network segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period
Public networks continue to dominate in-building wireless deployments, particularly in commercial, government, and high-footfall public venues, due to their scalability, ease of access, and broad carrier support. These networks are often deployed through distributed antenna systems (DAS) or hybrid systems, allowing telecom operators to extend licensed spectrum coverage indoors for enhanced voice and data quality. For instance, AT&T and Verizon have aggressively expanded public DAS coverage across convention centers, stadiums, and transit hubs such as the Las Vegas Convention Center, where a multi-operator DAS solution supports over 200,000 devices during peak trade events. Public networks offer seamless connectivity, critical for user-driven environments where Bring Your Own Device is prevalent, and carrier offloading is essential to prevent congestion.Moreover, public safety mandates in the US and parts of Europe now require public network-based emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS) to be present in large buildings, further fueling adoption.

Their ubiquity, coupled with government mandates and high user expectations for carrier-agnostic indoor coverage, firmly positions public networks as the largest segment by market size.
Commercial campus segment is projected to register the largest market share during the forecast period
Commercial campuses spanning tech parks, corporate headquarters, and mixed-use business complexes represent the largest share of in-building wireless demand due to their user density, operational complexity, and strategic focus on connectivity as a business enabler. These campuses often span multiple buildings and require integrated multi-tenant indoor coverage, pushing demand for DAS, distributed small cells, and hybrid network architectures. For instance, Infosys’s Electronic City campus in Bengaluru, integrated a campus-wide private 5G-ready DAS with over 700 antennas and dedicated coverage zones per building. This system supports mobile voice and data and connects IoT-enabled environmental sensors, visitor access systems, and energy automation platforms.Similarly, Google’s Bay View campus in California includes a multi-building CBRS-based wireless infrastructure supporting seamless mobility, zero-touch onboarding, and AR/VR workspace tools. These campuses prioritize high SLA environments, driving demand for professional services such as network planning, deployment, and managed services, particularly from service providers and neutral host operators.

North America leads in market share, while Asia Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing region
North America maintains its lead in the in-building wireless market, driven by mature telecom infrastructure, early 5G adoption, and strict public-safety DAS regulations across key states. CommScope, Crown Castle, and Boingo Wireless have built out extensive public and neutral-host networks in SoFi Stadium, Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, and Amazon’s fulfillment centers, enabling massive, multi-operator indoor coverage. Additionally, US regulations such as NFPA and IFC mandates have made in-building wireless a compliance necessity in new constructions.In contrast, Asia Pacific is experiencing rapid adoption momentum, fueled by government-backed smart building programs and expanding private network pilots across education, manufacturing, and logistics. For instance, SK Telecom partnered with Korean universities to roll out campus-wide private 5G networks, whereas Alibaba deployed hybrid DAS systems across its warehouse network to support smart logistics in China.
