Private network vendors need to be proactive in order to establish their position in a crowded market

Dozens of network equipment vendors serve a crowded private networks market. The revenue opportunity in this market is sizable (we expect network spend on private networks will reach USD7 billion by 2029), but likely not large enough to support all the currently active vendors. Some players have already left the market, and further consolidation is inevitable. 

Vendors have various options for how to position themselves to remain competitive and succeed in the market, as explored in Analysys Mason’s Private LTE/5G network vendors: case studies and analysis report. The positioning suggests a few possible directions for how the private networks market may ultimately develop.
