Hampshire, UK – 13th May 2025: A new study from Juniper Research, the foremost experts in telecommunications markets, has found that the number of businesses deploying private networks will reach over 7,000 globally by 2030; growing 194% from almost 2,500 in 2025.
The study attributed this substantial growth to rising demands for greater data control and security as regulations surrounding data tighten, with enhanced reliability and ultra-low latency enabling real-time threat detection and response.
The study identified the manufacturing sector to be dominating growth, due to its high level of process automation and well-developed infrastructure; accounting for 49% of total market value in 2030. Other sectors, including healthcare, will account for much smaller proportions of the market due to higher costs and underdeveloped infrastructure significantly inhibiting additional revenue streams.

Neutral Host Deployments Key to Expediting Growth Across All Sectors
To break into other key sectors, the study found that adopting neutral host business models would be essential to vendors’ portfolios. Neutral hosts are a network infrastructure model where a third party leases indoor telecom network equipment to multiple communication service providers. Applying this infrastructure to private networks lowers the overall cost for both enterprises and mobile network operators (MNOs); enabling enterprises access to secure private networks and allowing MNOs to offer enhanced indoor connectivity to their customers.
Research author Michelle Joynson states, “Neutral host models will not only lower the barrier to entry for many sectors, they will also accelerate the adoption of private 5G, which has been historically slow. Vendors must focus on providing seamless integration services, enabling rapid deployment and reduced costs.”
