ABI Research tipped 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) CPE shipments to increase from 10.7 million in 2023 to 36.8 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 22.9 per cent, due in part to increased uptake by businesses.
Larbi Belkhi, an industry analyst at ABI Research, highlighted the US market as a success story for 5G FWA with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile US on track to hit their targets for connections.
He stated those connections are “achieved by serving customers with a multi-vendor portfolio of CPEs for their varying requirements”.

ABI Research recently forecast that it expects the global FWA market to growth at a 14% compound annual growth rate through 2029, hitting nearly 265 million connections over that time frame. However, it also noted that network integrity will be a key point to supporting that growth across all market segments.
“As the demand for a more connected world continues to grow, the performance and efficiency of FWA technology remain a key driver in bridging the connectivity divide, providing high-speed, reliable internet access in both the enterprise and consumer markets,” ABI Research Analyst Larbi Belkhit wrote.

ABI’s 5G, 6G, and Open RAN research analyst Larbi Belkhit said as the demand for a more connected world continues to grow, the performance and efficiency of FWA technology remain a key driver in bridging the connectivity divide, providing high-speed, reliable internet access in both the enterprise and consumer markets.
“Furthermore, technology advancements in the 5G FWA space are also playing a key role, with ZTE announcing the world’s first AI 5G FWA CPE in the market during Mobile World Congress in 2024, improving the bandwidth utilization and reducing network congestion of 5G CPEs, further driving the adoption of this technology,” he added.

But ABI Research's Larbi Belkhit warns the long-term single-vendor deployments potentially threaten all of these.
"If the market continues to be dominated by single-vendor solutions, there could be less incentive for vendors to innovate, which could slow the pace of technological advancements for Open RAN, including reaching the objective of true network disaggregation," he said in a research note.
