Private Wireless RAN Revenue Growth of 16% by 2025

According to the latest forecast report released by Dell’Oro Group, an authoritative source of market information in the telecommunications, secure networking, and data center industries, the revenue growth rate of private wireless radio access networks (RAN) will significantly slow down in the second half of 2025. Preliminary estimates show that private wireless RAN revenue will increase by 16% in 2025, a decrease of nearly 2.5 times compared to the growth rate in 2024.

Stefan Pongratz, Vice President of Dell’Oro Group, stated that “private wireless remains a key growth driver in the broader RAN market, and there is still significant room for enterprise opportunities to be developed. After several years of rapid expansion from a small base, the market is now entering a more moderate growth phase.”
