The private mobile network market in 2Q25 shows steady growth. GSA has catalogued 1,846 customer references for 4G LTE and 5G private mobile network deployments valued at over €100,000, with a further 151 references between €50,000 and €100,000. Net additions in the quarter reached 74 larger deployments and 14 in the smaller value range. Although the pace of new announcements remains variable, this reflects the shift from proofs of concept to larger multisite projects, with significant activity continuing among existing customers.

Manufacturing remains the leading sector, now with 359 identified deployments, followed by education, mining and defence. Mining and manufacturing each added seven new deployments in the quarter, with further growth in seaports, smart cities and device testing. The United States continues to lead in overall adoption, while Australia, Malaysia and Mexico recorded strong percentage growth.

LTE remains the most widely used technology, accounting for just over half of known deployments, although 5G has grown to 47% when combined with LTE/5G networks. Much of this activity is concentrated in advanced markets such as Germany, Korea and Taiwan, whereas resource-based industries continue to favour LTE.

Spectrum remains a decisive factor, with the United States’ CBRS band the most widely used, and Europe and Asia–Pacific pursuing varied allocation strategies. As regulators prepare further spectrum releases, the outlook remains one of continued expansion across regions and sectors.

Private Mobile Networks – September 2025

The post Private Mobile Networks – September 2025 appeared first on GSA.

The private mobile network market in 1Q25 reflects a maturing yet dynamic landscape, fuelled by the digital transformation demands of industry and government.

GSA has catalogued 1,772 customer references for 4G LTE and 5G private mobile network deployments valued at over €100,000, with an additional 137 references between €50,000 and €100,000.

The pace of acquiring new customer references slowed, reflecting temporary macroeconomic uncertainty and reporting delays, but members of the GSA Private Mobile Networks Special Interest Group (SIG) noted expansion within existing accounts, including additional sites.
Other highlights in 1Q25 include:
Manufacturing continues to dominate, with eight new references in the quarter, and remains the top sector alongside education and mining. The United States leads in total deployments, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, China and Japan.

5G accounts for 47% of deployments, often in trial or research settings, with LTE still more widely used in operational networks.

The CBRS band remains the most used in the US, while Europe and Asia–Pacific show varied spectrum strategies.
Despite fewer new deployments, the underlying trend points to continued broader adoption of LTE and 5G private networks, with further growth expected as more spectrum becomes available and existing users expand their deployments. GSA plans to improve future reporting with enhanced metrics capturing site-level roll-outs.
Full details about worldwide allocation of dedicated private network spectrum and a database of organisations deploying or piloting private mobile networks are available to GSA members.
