Feeble ROI in 5G Network Security Market Feeling Sting of Global Economic Slowdown
October 22, 2024 | ABI ResearchEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
According to ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm, the slowing of the 5G network rollout in 2023 has had a knock-on effect on the market demand for enterprise cybersecurity. The much-anticipated uptake of 5G network security will take longer to emerge, with the current macroeconomic conditions tightening enterprise spending budgets and impacting 5G uptake, resulting in a US$1.2 billion shortfall in 2024 over previous anticipated global revenues.
“Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have been hoping to capitalize on their 5G investments by offering security solutions to the enterprise market, especially now that the bulk of investment in infrastructure security is complete. However, the slow adoption of applications in Massive Machine Type Communication (MMTC) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) has dried up potential new revenue streams. This doesn’t mean there isn’t a lucrative security market for these applications going forward, but for the moment, it is delayed as enterprises look to cut costs in an uncertain economic climate,” explains Michela Menting, Senior Research Director at ABI Research.
MNOs will have to readjust their outlook for the longer term. MMTC remains a significant market opportunity for 5G network security, not least as cellular IoT deployments are primarily secured through the network due to restricted device capabilities, limiting on-device security solutions. Network segmentation, through slices using virtualized appliances and software orchestration solutions, will need to be packaged and offered by MNOs in a manner that appeals from both a cost and simplicity perspective. Not an easy feat to accomplish, enterprises are a discerning and demanding target market, and MNOs with competitive and modular security solutions will appeal to this exigent segment.
Menting concludes, “Ultimately, the future market for 5G network security will largely depend on how providers, including MNOs and third parties such as technology suppliers and cybersecurity vendors, craft appealing solutions for the enterprise space that can transcend economic headwinds. The key is to focus on selling security as a value-add, showcasing how 5G network security can be a strategic business enabler.”
