The report provides insights into the following segments and their leading categories:
According to Nitesh, Research Manager at 6Wresearch, Saudi Arabia's telecom tower market is witnessing a growing shift toward renewable energy solutions. With rising energy costs and increasing sustainability goals, telecom operators are investing in solar-powered and hybrid tower systems. These solutions significantly reduce operational expenses while minimizing environmental impact, aligning with the nation's Vision 2030 sustainability targets.
Lattice towers hold a prominent position in Saudi Arabia's telecom tower market. These towers offer durability, flexibility, and the capacity to support multiple antennas, making them ideal for urban and high-traffic areas. Their strong yet lightweight structure allows easier deployment, particularly in areas with challenging terrains. As demand for 5G connectivity rises, lattice towers remain a preferred choice for telecom operators.
Rooftop towers are gaining popularity in Saudi Arabia, particularly in metropolitan regions where space is limited. These towers efficiently utilize existing infrastructure, enabling telecom providers to expand coverage without additional land acquisition. Rooftop installations are cost-effective and quicker to deploy, making them an attractive option in densely populated areas.
Privately-owned telecom tower companies are playing a significant role in Saudi Arabia's telecom infrastructure. These firms, known as towercos, manage telecom towers and lease infrastructure to multiple mobile network operators (MNOs). This model reduces costs for MNOs while enhancing efficiency. Private ownership is particularly crucial in connecting remote and underserved regions.
