The 5G opportunity has not yet been appreciated by the market in North America compared to its rapid pace of growth in Asian markets. As noted by Market Research Future in its 2019 report, the 5G technology market is expected to surpass USD 700 billion by 2025 growing at 70.83% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), with North America dominating the global 5G market with a CAGR of 71%.
