The g.fast chipset market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.14 billion in 2025 to $5.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for faster broadband speeds, limitations of legacy DSL technologies, high cost of full fiber deployment, increasing urban broadband penetration, expansion of copper-based access networks.

The g.fast chipset market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising gigabit broadband requirements, growing deployment of fiber-to-the-node architectures, increasing demand for cost-effective last-mile connectivity, advancements in signal processing technologies, expansion of high-speed internet in multi-dwelling units. Major trends in the forecast period include high-speed broadband over existing copper infrastructure, fiber-to-the-node network expansion, compact and energy-efficient g.fast chipset designs, enhanced noise cancellation and signal processing, integration of g.fast with hybrid fiber networks.

The G.Fast chipset market is projected to grow due to the increasing demand for high-speed internet connectivity. This surge is driven by factors such as remote work, streaming services, smart home technology, and digital inclusion. G.Fast offers a cost-effective upgrade to existing copper infrastructure, enabling high-speed access to meet the rising bandwidth requirements for streaming, gaming, and remote work. For example, in November 2024, the UK Parliament's House of Commons Library, a UK-based government body, reported that 78% of UK premises had access to gigabit-capable broadband. This marks an increase from 72% in January 2023 and 64% in January 2022. As such, the escalating demand for high-speed internet is expected to propel the G.Fast chipset market forward.

Leading companies in the G.Fast chipset market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as mobile G.Fast chipsets, to strengthen their competitive position. A mobile G.Fast chipset is a specialized microchip designed to deliver high-speed broadband over copper lines using G.Fast technology, optimized for mobile or portable applications. For example, in October 2024, Qualcomm Incorporated, a US-based semiconductor company, launched its latest mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This chipset is engineered to enhance performance and AI capabilities in next-generation premium smartphones. Built on a 3 nm architecture, the Snapdragon 8 Elite features a second-generation Oryon CPU optimized for mobile platforms and integrates a Qualcomm AI Engine that combines the CPU, GPU, and a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) to deliver advanced AI functionalities.

In June 2024, DZS Inc., a US-based telecommunications equipment provider, acquired NetComm Wireless for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows DZS to significantly expand its broadband offerings by integrating advanced technologies, including WiFi 6/6E/7 and G.Fast capabilities. Through this deal, DZS can offer a more comprehensive range of high-speed internet solutions. NetComm Wireless, an Australian telecommunications equipment firm, provides a distribution point unit (DPU) portfolio, further enhancing DZS’s broadband service capabilities.

Major companies operating in the g.fast chipset market are Intel Corporation, Cisco Systems Inc., Qualcomm Technologies Inc., Broadcom Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, Nokia Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated, MediaTek Inc., ZTE Corporation, Microchip Technology Inc., Marvell, MaxLinear, Adtran, Calix Inc., EXFO Inc., Zyxel, Allied Telesis Inc., Ikanos Communications, Metanoia Communications Inc., Sckipio Technologies.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the g.fast chipset market by increasing the cost of imported semiconductors, networking components, and manufacturing equipment used in chipset production. These cost pressures have affected broadband infrastructure deployments, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Europe, where telecom operators rely on large-scale hardware rollouts. Short-term impacts include higher equipment pricing and delayed network upgrades. However, tariffs have also encouraged local chipset manufacturing, supplier diversification, and greater investment in domestic semiconductor capabilities, supporting long-term supply chain resilience.

A G.fast chipset is a specialized piece of telecommunications hardware designed to enable high-speed data transmission over existing copper telephone lines. It provides gigabit-speed broadband (up to 1 Gbps) through short copper lines, bridging the gap between standard digital subscriber lines (DSL) and fiber-optic connections.

The main types of G.fast chipsets include distribution point units (DPU) and customer premises equipment (CPE). Distribution point units (DPUs) are network devices installed at distribution points within the telecommunications network. They act as intermediaries between the central office and the end-user premises, converting fiber optic signals into electrical signals suitable for transmission over existing copper lines using G.fast technology. DPUs support various copper-line lengths, including shorter than 100 meters, 100 to 150 meters, 150 to 200 meters, 200 to 250 meters, and longer than 250 meters. They are used by a range of end-users, including residential and commercial or enterprise clients.North America was the largest region in the G.fast chipset market in 2025.
