At China, USA, Japan and South Korea will correspond to half (and more) subscribers 5G networks by 2025, with Europe lagging behind, according to new research.
Η Europe is moving slowly towards the development of 5G networks and will therefore lag behind in terms of consumer adoption. However, the picture is different in business, as 5G will be used to operate "smart" factories, with interconnected robots, devices and sensors.
«It will be a small group of countries leading the way in adopting 5G, with the rest of the world followingSaid Tim Hat, head of research at GSMA Intelligence.
«China, Japan, Korea and the US - among them, you see more than half of 5G subscribers by 2025He added.
The rapid rise of 5G networks - which provide speeds sufficient to download a movie to smarpthone in seconds - has made a sensation to many. In South Korea, 66% of mobile connections will be 5G by the middle of the decade, according to GSMA Intelligence in a 100-page study, with the US at 50% and Japan at 49%.
In terms of "net" numbers, China will dominate with 600 million 5G connections. 1,57 million people worldwide are expected to adopt 5G by 2025 - or 18% of all mobile phone users.
With the relevant Internet of Things development standards expected to take effect in a few years, this use is considered by European industry to be the most promising way to "pave the way" for 5G. Instead of selling to business customers, Hat said, providers would be better off working with them on IoT programs - a market that GSMA Intelligence predicts will be worth a trillion. dollars in 2025. However, of these, only 5% will come from interconnectivity, forcing providers to compete with international Silicon Valley consulting companies and giants such as Amazon or Microsoft.
According to the research, however, for developing countries it is the spread of interconnection through older 4G technology that will affect the lives of billions of people in the coming years. In emerging markets such as Nigeria, Mexico, India or Indonesia, the combination of cheap Android phones and cheap data continues to provide growth opportunities. According to GSMA Intelligence, 59% of mobile connections worldwide will be 4G in 2025.
