The escalating demand for high-speed and dependable mobile communication is anticipated to drive the growth of the massive MIMO market in the foreseeable future. High-speed and reliable mobile communication denotes a wireless network that provides consistent connectivity and rapid data transfer rates to facilitate seamless mobile communication. Massive MIMO, as an advanced technology in mobile communication, is pivotal in meeting the requirements for faster data transfer rates, increased network capacity, and an enhanced user experience. For instance, a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in July 2023 highlighted a 17% growth in data usage per mobile broadband subscription in OECD countries in 2022. The overall volume of mobile data usage per subscription doubled in four years, reaching 10.4 gigabytes per month in 2022 from 4.7 GB. Consequently, the rising demand for high-speed and reliable mobile communication is a driving force behind the growth of the massive MIMO market.

The increasing penetration of 5G is expected to further propel the growth of the massive MIMO market. 5G, the fifth-generation wireless technology, represents the latest evolution in cellular networks, offering significant improvements in speed, responsiveness, and connectivity compared to previous generations such as 4G. Massive MIMO plays a pivotal role in facilitating 5G penetration by substantially enhancing network capacity and data transfer rates. This enables the efficient management of the escalating data traffic and diverse connectivity demands in next-generation wireless communication systems. For example, a report from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson in May 2023 forecasts a substantial increase in 5G mobile subscriptions, reaching 4.624 billion in 2028, compared to 1.481 billion in 2023. Therefore, the increasing penetration of 5G stands as a key driver behind the growth of the massive MIMO market.

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is a wireless communication approach characterized by base stations equipped with numerous antenna components, aiming to enhance spectrum and energy efficiency. This technology offers several advantages, including highly focused range utilization, the elimination of performance bottlenecks, support for a greater number of users per cell, and an overall improvement in the end-user experience, particularly in densely crowded locations.

The primary technologies associated with massive MIMO include LTE Advanced, LTE Advanced Pro, and 5G. LTE Advanced denotes an upgraded LTE standard designed to enhance the reliability, capacity, and speed of traditional LTE networks. Massive MIMO implementations involve various types of antennas, such as 8t8r, 16t16r, 32t32r, 64t64r, and 128t128r, and even higher configurations. Additionally, different spectrums, such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Time Division Duplexing (TDD), and others, play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of massive MIMO systems.
