China 5G NTN Market (2026-2031)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research study involved four major activities in estimating the 5G NTN market size. Exhaustive secondary research has been conducted to gather key information on the market and peer markets. The next step has been to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with the help of primary research with industry experts across the value chain. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate the market size. Post which, the market breakdown and data triangulation have been adopted to estimate the market sizes of segments and sub-segments.

Secondary Research

The market size of companies offering 5G NTN hardware, solutions, and services was estimated using secondary data from paid and unpaid sources. It was also arrived at by analyzing the product portfolios of major companies and rating the companies based on their performance and quality.
In the secondary research process, various sources were consulted to identify and collect information for this study. Secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. The data was also collected from other secondary sources, such as 5G Americas, GSMA, TRAI, and others. The investment spending of various countries was extracted from respective sources. Secondary research was used to obtain key information related to the industry’s value chain and supply chain to identify key players based on hardware, solutions, services, market classification, and segmentation according to offerings of major players, industry trends related to offering, end-use industry, application, platform, location, and regions, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various sources from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for the report. The primary sources from the supply side included Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Managing Directors (MDs), technology and innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations operating in the 5G NTN Market.
