  • 全球移动网络支出在2026年至2031年间可能下降近30%。
  • 运营商正从大量5G投资转向成本控制和优化。

发生了什么

根据ABI Research的新数据,全球移动网络基础设施支出预计在未来五年内将大幅下降。一份报告显示,移动网络资本支出在2026年至2031年间将下降约29%。

此前,5G基础设施经历了大规模投资期。主要市场的运营商已完成大部分初期5G覆盖部署,从而减少了持续高额支出的需求。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.

ABI Research指出,运营商正将重心从扩张转向优化。这包括提高网络效率、管理成本以及从现有基础设施中获取回报。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.

支出放缓预计将影响多个领域,包括无线接入网(RAN)和核心网投资。严重依赖大型基础设施合同的供应商可能因需求疲软而面临压力。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.

与此同时,运营商在诸如网络升级、容量增强和软件驱动能力等领域仍有选择性地投资。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.

为何重要

预计的下降凸显了电信部门的结构性变化。在5G推动的多年快速扩张之后,该行业正步入更成熟的阶段。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.

对运营商而言,挑战正从网络建设转向网络变现。事实证明,从5G投资中获取回报很困难,尤其是在消费者收入持续承压的情况下。 另见: 美国封堵海外AI芯片采购漏洞.

支出放缓还可能影响更广泛的供应链。设备供应商和基础设施提供商可能面临需求减少,导致竞争加剧和定价压力。 另见: Dish 违约后 FCC 重启 AWS-3 拍卖.

然而,支出下降并不意味着投资消失。相反,投资正变得更有针对性。运营商正专注于效率、自动化和新服务,而非大规模基础设施部署。 另见: 美国关闭英伟达AI芯片海外漏洞.

此外,还有一些新兴投资领域。随着运营商寻找新的增长机会,Open RAN、专用网络和AI驱动网络管理等技术可能吸引资金。

这一转变引发了对电信创新未来的质疑。如果资本支出持续下降,网络演进的速度可能会放缓。

与此同时,运营商可能从财务纪律的改善中受益。较低的支出可能有助于盈利,但前提是收入稳定或增长。

该行业现在面临平衡举措。它必须在管理成本的同时,继续投资于能带来长期价值的技术。
