The private long-term evolution (lte) and private fifth-generation (5g) network market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for ultra-low-latency private 5G connectivity, rising adoption of dedicated wireless networks across new industrial applications, increasing demand for scalable private cellular infrastructure, expanding need for customized network performance and spectrum management, and rising demand for secure wireless connectivity across distributed operational sites. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for dedicated and secure enterprise wireless connectivity, rising preference for low-latency private LTE and 5G network solutions, growing adoption of customized spectrum and network configurations, increasing demand for reliable connectivity across large and complex operational environments, and rising preference for scalable private cellular networks with flexible deployment options.
The expansion of industrial automation is expected to propel the growth of the private long-term evolution (LTE) and private fifth-generation (5G) network market in the coming years. Industrial automation refers to the use of advanced control systems, robotics, sensors, and software to automate manufacturing and industrial processes with minimal human intervention. Industrial automation is expanding due to the increasing adoption of smart manufacturing practices that improve production efficiency, product quality, and operational flexibility. The expansion of industrial automation benefits private long-term evolution (LTE) and private fifth-generation (5G) networks by increasing the need for secure, low-latency, and highly reliable wireless connectivity to support real-time communication between automated machines, robots, sensors, and control systems across industrial facilities. For instance, in September 2024, according to the World Robotics 2024 report released by the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, the operational stock of industrial robots reached 4,281,585 units in factories worldwide, representing a 10% year-on-year increase, while annual installations exceeded 500,000 units for the third consecutive year, with Asia accounting for 70% of newly deployed robots in 2023, followed by Europe at 17% and the Americas at 10%. Therefore, the expansion of industrial automation is driving the growth of the private long-term evolution (LTE) and private fifth-generation (5G) network market.
Major companies operating in the private long-term evolution (LTE) and private fifth-generation (5G) network market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as private 5G network platforms, to improve secure, reliable, and high-speed IoT connectivity for industrial automation and mission-critical applications. Private 5G network platforms are dedicated wireless communication systems that utilize 5G technology to deliver secure, high-speed, low-latency connectivity for enterprises, enabling dependable data exchange among IoT devices, machines, and critical applications across private locations such as factories, campuses, and industrial facilities. For instance, in March 2025, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), a France-based enterprise networking and communication solutions provider, launched a private 5G solution powered by Celona to provide secure, high-speed, and reliable wireless connectivity for enterprises. The solution combines private 5G technology with ALE’s networking portfolio to support industrial IoT applications, automation, robotics, and mission-critical operations. This launch strengthens the private LTE and 5G network market by allowing organizations to deploy scalable, low-latency connectivity solutions across smart manufacturing, campus, and enterprise environments.
In June 2023, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE), a US-based information technology company, acquired Athonet for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, HPE aims to strengthen its private LTE and private 5G network portfolio by integrating Athonet's mobile core technology, enabling enterprises and communication service providers to accelerate secure private network deployments and expand wireless connectivity across industrial and campus environments. Athonet SRL is an Italy-based company that provides both private long-term evolution (LTE) and private fifth-generation (5G) network core solutions.
