Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for dedicated qos enabled network slices, increasing deployment of edge computing for yard operations, rising adoption of real time asset and vehicle monitoring, expansion of secure and isolated communication architectures, integration of advanced network analytics for performance optimization.

The increasing investment in smart infrastructure is expected to support the growth of the private fifth-generation (5G) network slicing for the yards market going forward. Smart infrastructure investment refers to capital spending on advanced digital technologies, sensors, automated controls, and intelligent systems that enhance the management and operation of physical infrastructure. The rising investment in smart infrastructure is supported by the need to modernize aging electrical grids and integrate renewable energy sources, as utilities upgrade distribution systems with digital monitoring and control technologies to manage intermittent power generation and strengthen grid resilience. The expanding deployment of smart infrastructure technologies directly enables the implementation of private 5G network slicing solutions in industrial yards by providing the digital foundation and connectivity requirements necessary for real-time monitoring, automation, and data processing capabilities. For example, in January 2024, according to the Institute of the Americas, a US-based non-profit organization, global spending on smart city initiatives in 2023 surpassed $190 billion. Therefore, increasing investment in smart infrastructure is contributing to the growth of the private fifth-generation (5G) network slicing for the yards market.

Leading companies in the private fifth-generation network slicing for yards market are deploying advanced orchestration platforms to deliver secure, isolated, and performance-optimized connectivity for industrial locations such as ports, logistics centers, and rail yards. Orchestration platforms automate and coordinate network, application, and infrastructure components as unified systems, enabling dynamic resource allocation, seamless service management, and scalable operations. For example, in June 2025, Orange Group, a France-based telecommunications company, selected Ericsson to provide 5G slicing orchestration across Europe over its standalone 5G network. The solution enables automated end-to-end slice management, allowing enterprises to deploy tailored private 5G connectivity that meets strict performance and security requirements for yard-based and industrial operations.

In June 2023, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), a US-based enterprise IT company, acquired Athonet for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, HPE strengthened its private 5G networking portfolio by integrating Athonet’s 5G core software and slicing features to deliver secure, customizable, and low-latency connectivity for industrial sites including ports, manufacturing facilities, and logistics operations. Athonet is an Italy-based provider of standalone private 4G and 5G core network solutions.
