In 2025, the market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 4.90 Billion. By 2034, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 102.52 Billion.

Private 5G Network Market Overview

Private 5G market is expanding fast as companies increasingly require secure, low-latency, and specialized connectivity to empower digital transformation. Private 5G networks are being adopted across manufacturing, logistics, mining, and healthcare for automation, real-time monitoring, and better analysis of data. In Germany alone, the government has granted thousands of permits for local use of 5G to firms to spur innovation in industrial IoT and smart factories.

Likewise, Japan’s “Beyond 5G Promotion Strategy” is focusing on enterprise deployment of private networks in pursuit of industry competitiveness and innovation. In the US, technology majors are joining forces with telecommunication operators to offer private 5 G-as-a-service, making the technology accessible to mid-sized businesses. These initiatives are a part of an international shift in which the public and private sectors collaborate to bring flexible, high-performance connectivity as per enterprise requirements.

Private 5G Network Market Growth Factors and Dynamics

• Increasing Industrial Automation Requirement: Industrial automation involves integrating the latest technologies like robotics, IoT, and AI to streamline manufacturing and production processes. Private 5G networks provide the high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity needed to sustain these technologies, facilitating real-time data exchange and control in industries. For example, in January 2025, Siemens increased its industrial-grade private 5G infrastructure capacity to handle as many as 24 radio units—each on a 5,000 m² coverage area—delivering secure, mission-critical connectivity for massive industrial zones. First launched in Germany in 2023, it’s currently available in six European countries and Brazil, with another global launch planned for 2025. With the compact Scalance MUB852-1 5G router, the solution is a plug-and-play integration into Siemens automation, offering manufacturers in the pharma, mining, food and beverage, and other industries a secure, scalable, and user-friendly network for integrating smart devices and making real-time decisions.

• Random Data Security Risks: The more businesses handle higher volumes of sensitive data, the more fears of data breaches and cyber attacks have escalated. Private 5G networks guarantee enhanced security alternatives, allowing businesses to gain greater control of their network equipment and data, thus limiting possible risk. For example, in March 2025, a Trend Micro and CTOne’s report states that although increased adoption of AI-based security products is observed, most organizations do not have the CT capabilities to protect private 5G networks. Though increased adoption is witnessed in vertical industries such as energy, healthcare, and manufacturing, high costs, false positives, and the absence of internal skills are concerns that remain.Just 20% of these have CT security teams, usually depending on CTOs or CIOs for management, with tight budgets. The study demands the combination of AI with deep technical expertise to secure effectively. CTOne offers AI-driven solutions to fill the skills gap and improve security for private 5G networks.

• Smart Infrastructure Projects: Smart infrastructure projects involve the use of digital technology to integrate with physical infrastructure like transport systems and utilities to support efficiency and delivery of service. Private 5G networks provide the basis for these kinds of projects, which have high-capacity and high-reliability connectivity. For example, in April 2025, U Mobile picked Huawei and ZTE to construct Malaysia’s second 5G network, to cover 80% of the population in the first year and 90% of inhabited places in the second year, undercutting state-run Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB).The move to collaborate with the Chinese suppliers followed a tender process in which only Huawei and ZTE replied to U Mobile’s tender invitation. U Mobile’s 5G network will focus on major sites such as transportation centers, hospitals, smart cities, and data centers, with plans for complete indoor coverage. The action comes on the heels of the government’s plan to end DNB’s monopoly and bring in competition in the 5G market, with U Mobile set to finish the rollout by mid-2026 without further government injections.

Report Scope

Private 5G Network Market: SWOT Analysis

• Strengths: Private 5G networks market provide ultra-high speed, low latency, and high reliability to enable seamless connectivity of mission-critical use cases. They provide added security and control, and therefore are suitable for industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics. Configuring network settings per use case is where value is created. The networks also facilitate advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and automation. Overall, they equip businesses with higher operating efficiency and potential for innovation.

• Weaknesses: The premium installation cost in the beginning, which encompasses infrastructure and spectrum, could be a constraint for small and medium-sized businesses. Specialized skills in deployment and administration add to dependency on skilled human resources. Technical complexity and time-consuming integration with the current legacy system are also limiting factors. Adoption is limited by lower awareness and undefined ROI in specific geographies. Multijurisdictional, patchwork-style regulation across geographies complicates global rollout plans.

• Opportunities: Increased demand for digitalization, real-time analytics, and automation drives demand for private 5 G. New economies are embracing new network architecture, leading to new market opportunities. Increasing IoT applications and edge computing result in scalable applications. Collaboration between the government and enterprises can trigger infrastructure development. Advances in AI-based network management and slicing further enlarge future opportunities.

• Threats: Public 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are perceived as cost-saving options for some use cases. Cybersecurity risks increase as network complexity mounts. Economic downturns can also slow down private infrastructure investments. Relying on a few large vendors also increases lock-in and decreases flexibility risks. Delayed or conflicting regulation and inconsistent spectrum policies may also slow down deployment timelines.
