According to a newly published forecast report by Dell’Oro Group, Private Wireless Radio Access Network (RAN) revenue growth decelerated substantially in the second half of 2025. Initial estimates indicate that Private Wireless RAN revenue increased 16 percent in 2025, down nearly 2.5x from the 2024 growth rate.

“Private wireless remains a key growth driver in the broader RAN market, with the enterprise opportunity still largely untapped,” said Stefan Pongratz, vice president at Dell’Oro Group. “After several years of rapid expansion from a small base, the market is now shifting into a more measured growth phase.”

Additional highlights from the April 2026 Private Wireless Report:

• Full year Private Wireless RAN revenue accounted for 3 to 5 percent of total RAN revenue in 2025

• China is leading in enterprise 5G, accounting for 40 to 50 percent of global Private Wireless RAN revenue in 2025

• Top 3 Private Wireless RAN suppliers in 2025 include Huawei, Nokia and Ericsson

• Nokia and Ericsson led the Private Wireless RAN market outside of China in 2025, accounting for around 80 percent of this region combined

• The outlook for Campus Network has been revised downward, while wide-area networks growth prospects have strengthened

• The high-level message that we have communicated for some time has not changed — private wireless is a massive opportunity, but it will take some time for enterprises to embrace private cellular technologies. Private Wireless RAN revenue is expected to grow at a 10 to 20 percent CAGR and account for 5 to 10 percent of total RAN revenue by 2030.
