This created forecasts that 5G subscriptions would take up 43% of the mobile market by late 2026. 5G requires a higher density of telecom towers than previous generations due to its relatively short range. Unprecedented telecom tower builds and upgrades were employed across the region. The telecom tower market is estimated to grow from USD 28.48 billion in 2024 to USD 32.76 billion in 2029. This is at a CAGR of 2.84%. Telecommuting and e-learning trend, along with consuming more streaming services, have increased what people demand of high-speed internet services in Latin America, and local telecom companies have invested heavily to expand and improve connections across the region. The increase results from the increasing number of mobile subscribers as the GSMA estimates 485 million mobile subscribers will exist which is 72% of the population by 2024, and more telecom towers will be needed for handling the data increase. Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) distributors are adding to the pressure upon current networks. In 2023, there were 110 million SVOD subscriptions throughout the region, a number projected to rise to 165 million by 2029. At a penetration rate of over 35%, Brazil leads the region in terms of broadband penetration, leading to demand for new, more reliable, and advanced telecommunications infrastructure to support more dependable broadband connections. Consequently, the demand for data and connectivity continues to increase the Latin American telecom tower market.
