Segmentation

By Spectrum

• Gigabit LTE: The Gigabit LTE enabled 5G processors offer unmatched speeds far in excess of any other spectrum. With a peak download speed of 1000 Mbps, this spectrum is ideal for high data exchanges that must occur over a short duration or are critical in nature. Especially beneficial for individuals who upload their photos, videos to the cloud, Gigabit LTE ensures that even the oldest photos or videos within cloud storage can be accessed almost instantly. It is expensive and requires well established supporting infrastructure.


• mmWave: The largest and fastest-growing market within this segment, mmWave spectrum is in the range of 30–300 GHz. It is ideal for high-speed wireless communication, especially for streaming 4K videos and other data-heavy wireless applications. Due to its short wavelength it is susceptible to interference from rain and building blockage. But the short wavelength also ensures that it can be concentrated by short antennas for propagation over long distances.

By End User

• Telecommunication: The largest market within this segment, telecommunications are the primary market drivers for 5G processors. Finding extensive utility in smartphones, 5G processors are bound to revolutionize this industry as the 3G processors had done before them causing a marked increase in the 5G mobile processors market size. The demand from various telecommunication corporations is also fueling the innovation within the 5G processor market.


• Manufacturing: Manufacturing industries are increasingly being automated. Thus, various machines must be able to relay data to one another as well as to human workers. This data is critical and must be relayed in the shortest possible time with accuracy. 5G processors can handle the volume of data that is to be transmitted in a short time without errors.


• IoT: IoT is a growing market for the use of 5G processors due to their exceptional data handling and transmission capabilities. Multiple devices can concurrently send and receive data using 5G processors ensuring that the IoT network between them is strengthened due to the fast transmission of data.


• Automotive: The fastest-growing market in this segment, automobile manufacturing is one of the most automated industries today, which creates a ready market for 5G processors, which enhance the efficiency of the system markedly. Self-driving cars have a critical application for 5G processors as they can transmit data to remote/cloud computing drivers. Vehicles can also effectively communicate with each other using 5G tremendously easing traffic and reducing accidents.


• Consumers: Many consumer smart appliances are being fitted with 5G processors to enhance the speed of data transmission and reduce transmission errors. The fast transmission speed enables effective communication between devices and their user.


• Others: This segment covers the 5G processor market for applications in military, aerospace, aviation, and others.
