5G Devices Market Growth Rate
5G stands for fifth generation and 5G device refers to electronic devices including mobile phones that use the fifth-generation mobile network to connect machines, devices, and objects virtually and are engineered to increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks. Examples of 5G devices include smartphones, tablets, laptops with 5G modems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and fixed wireless access points.
Infrastructural development such as the upgradation of existing modems and towers, among others, along with the growing adoption of wearable technologies is supporting the 5G devices market development. The rising requirement for speed data connectivity owing to the increase in work-from-home is also fuelling the market growth. The demand for 5G devices from the healthcare and automobile sectors is rising rapidly owing to their capability to support high-speed data transfer rate, consistent connectivity, and low latency. Moreover, government initiatives to develop smart cities are further boosting the requirement for 5G infrastructure to allow device connectivity and deployment of sensors. 5G also allows for industrial automation and smart manufacturing by enabling multiple advances including computer vision and machine learning, among others.
Key Trends and Developments
Huawei launched its Mate XT2 series, featuring a tri-fold design, the in-house Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, enhanced water resistance and a privacy display. The device uses Huawei’s proprietary LogicFolding architecture and was positioned as a high-end 5G smartphone ahead of Apple’s expected foldable launch. The development strengthens Huawei’s premium-device portfolio and demonstrates continued innovation in advanced 5G form factors.
Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 18 Fold, introducing an AI-powered XRing O3 processor and a compact foldable design capable of supporting three applications simultaneously when opened. The smartphone also uses locally sourced DRAM from CXMT, highlighting Xiaomi’s efforts to combine advanced device capabilities with a more domestic component ecosystem. The launch increases competition in premium 5G smartphones, particularly across China’s rapidly evolving foldable-device segment.
Lava launched its Agni 4N 5G smartphone in the UK, marking a strategic international expansion for the Indian manufacturer. The device features a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 5G processor, 8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, a 5,000mAh battery and 66W fast charging. The company is targeting the value-oriented premium segment through online distribution and local after-sales support, therefore expanding the growth of the 5G devices market.
Philips launched the S7221 5G smartphone in India, marking the brand’s return to the Indian smartphone market after focusing primarily on consumer electronics and home appliances. The launch expands the competitive landscape by bringing a recognised electronics brand into the 5G handset segment. Philips’ re-entry highlights the continuing attractiveness of India’s 5G device market and creates another branded option for consumers.
5G RedCap Devices Expand into Industrial IoT Applications
A niche trend in the 5G devices market is the expansion of 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) devices for industrial IoT, wearables and enterprise applications. In April 2025, the Global mobile Suppliers Association reported that more than 20 RedCap devices and six chipsets were commercially available, with 30 operators across 21 countries and territories investing in the technology. Huawei, Nokia, Samsung, TCL and ZTE were among vendors expanding RedCap device support. RedCap creates a lower-complexity 5G device category, widening 5G adoption beyond smartphones into cost-sensitive connected equipment.
Satellite Connectivity Is Moving into Mainstream 5G Smartphones
A significant emerging trend is the integration of satellite connectivity into 5G smartphones, enabling communication where terrestrial networks are unavailable. Recent industry analysis indicates that Apple, Samsung, Google and Huawei are among manufacturers driving satellite-enabled smartphone development. Counterpoint expects satellite connectivity to reach 46% of global smartphone shipments by 2030, although proprietary solutions are likely to dominate initially while 3GPP NTN ecosystems mature. Satellite-enabled handsets can expand the addressable market for 5G-capable devices by adding emergency communication and connectivity in remote areas, thus propelling the demand of the 5G devices market.
5G Devices Expand Beyond Smartphones into Smart Glasses
Smart glasses and other connected wearables enabled by 5G are turning out to be a new category of devices as manufacturers look to deploy use cases which require always-on connectivity and distributed computing. Ericsson’s latest device outlook indicates that smartglasses volumes are expected to grow two to three times in 2026. Technology is gradually getting dependent upon uplink optimization and intelligent computing distribution between the wearables and the network. Growth in connected glasses would allow diversified demand from 5G devices towards lightweight wearables.
5G Fixed Wireless Access Devices Gain Importance
The market is seeing increased deployment of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) customer-premises equipment, particularly where operators need to provide broadband without extensive fixed-line infrastructure. Recent industry developments point to rising demand for 5G FWA CPE across remote, rural and urban locations. These devices allow cellular networks to deliver broadband through dedicated indoor or outdoor routers rather than smartphones. FWA expands the 5G device opportunity into home and enterprise broadband, increasing demand for 5G routers, gateways and CPE equipment, thus pushing the 5G devices demand globally.
AI-Native Processing Is Becoming a Core 5G Device Requirement
5G devices are now being increasingly designed for on-device AI computation to facilitate the performance of functionalities like real-time translation, image creation, context-based assistance, and visual search on local computing. In 2026, there will be a shift in the industry from looking at generative AI technology as a secondary feature on smartphones to its integration in the very architecture of the devices. This will lead to the need for a combination of 5G and more advanced processing capability for hardware and neural processing.
5G Devices Market Trends
The expansion of 5G networks to support a wide range of applications, especially in critical infrastructure and services, has raised concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for cyberattacks. As a result, there is a growing focus on enhancing security features in 5G devices to ensure the protection of data, privacy, and the integrity of communication networks. For instance, implementing strong encryption protocols for data transmitted over 5G networks to prevent unauthorised access or interception.
Market players in 5G devices market are enhancing their partnership and collaboration efforts to expand the 5G network. The announcement of the partnership between Comviva, a leading global provider of mobility solutions, and GSMA's Open Gateway initiative to standardise 5G APIs, in March 2024, aims to unlock the full potential of 5G networks by providing a unified ecosystem for developers and cloud providers to rapidly deploy services across operator networks.
