Telecom’s biggest vendors – 3Q20 edition
Global telco NI vendor sales surge 5% YoY on back of China's 5G push; markets remain muted elsewhere
By Matt Walker

The market for telecom network infrastructure (telco NI) vendor products and services grew in 3Q20, surprisingly, despite widespread economic downturns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For all reporting vendors, telco NI revenues in 3Q20 amounted to $55.6B, up 4.7% from 3Q20. That’s an improvement from negative growth in the prior three quarters. But the improvemaent is due mainly to revenue surges at Huawei and ZTE, stemming from a Chinese government push to deploy 5G rapidly. For all vendors other than Huawei and ZTE, telco NI revenues declined by 1.4% YoY in 3Q20.

On an annualized basis, Telco NI vendor revenues totaled $216.3B in 3Q20, down 1.7% from the 3Q19 annualized result. That is broadly consistent with telecom operator spending: annualized telco capex and opex (ex-D&A) declined by 2% and 4% respectively in 3Q20, relative to the 3Q19 results.
