Ericsson Mobility Report 2021: every day the number of 5G users in the world grows by a million

The Ukrainian division of Ericsson held an online event Mobility Report 2021, where it shared its forecasts

and statistics on the implementation of the fifth generation network (5G) around the world.

What told

By the end of 2021, the number of mobile subscriptionson 5G will exceed 580 million. At the same time, the number of new 5G connections through mobile devices is growing by 1 million every day. Thus, the fifth generation network is breaking records for the rate of implementation in the world. If this continues, 5G will cover 60% of the population in 2026.

The 5G network is spreading faster than 4G, so5G subscriptions will exceed one billion 2 years earlier than 4G in the same period. One of the factors behind the rapid growth is the appearance on the market of more affordable 5G-enabled smartphones. The minimum price tag is already $250. For example, this is how much Redmi Note 10 5G costs. There are now more than 300 models of 5G smartphones in the world.

Unfortunately, the rollout of 5G has been uneven.For example, Europe is slower to adopt technology and lags behind China, the US, Korea, Japan and the Gulf countries. In 2019, GCC markets were among the first in the world to introduce commercial 5G services. Thanks to this, by 2026 they will be able to receive 62 million 5G subscriptions in total. This is the second largest 5G distribution market in the world.

If we talk about mobile traffic, itcontinues to grow from year to year. Global mobile data traffic exceeded 49 EB per month at the end of 2020. It is projected to grow approximately 5 times to reach 237 EB per month in 2026. Smartphones, which now generate 95% of this traffic, also consume more data than before. Now in the world, 1 smartphone accounts for an average of more than 10 GB of data per month. This figure is projected to reach 35 GB per month by the end of 2026. As for Ukraine, the figure is 4.5 GB. By the way, at the end of 2020, 48% of the Ukrainian population use 3G, 28% 4G, 19% EDGE and 5% do not use mobile Internet at all.

Ericsson Mobility Report: until the end of 2021, the world will have 500 million 5G subscriptions

  • 5G will continue to lead the pace of mobile phone adoption in the current generation, even as 5G subscriptions increase by a million.

  • China, Pivnichna America and the land of Persian inflows may have the highest number of 5G subscribers, while Europe has more 5G subscribers.

  • The number of add-ons from 5G connectivity has grown by 70 million in the first quarter of 2021. According to forecasts, until the end of 2021, the rock is up to 580 million.

 

Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) predicts that by the end of 2021 the number of mobile 5G subscriptions will exceed 580 million. Today, the number of new 5G data through mobile devices will increase by 1 million. Thus, 5G breaks records for the rate of adoption in the world and in 2026 it will cover 60% of the population by the end of 2026 — close to 3.5 billion subscriptions.

5G is faster than 4G.So, the number of subscriptions for 5G has to be replaced by a bill 2 rock earlier, not 4G for that very period. The main factors are the readiness of China in the early stages of the provision of 5G fences, as well as the greater availability of commercial 5G add-ons. Ponad 300 models of smartphones from the 5G platform have already been announced or presented in all light.

 

According to forecasts, such a commercial 5G surge is imminent and far away. The importance of reliable connectivity is driving the rise of 5G and is a key element of cost-effective post-COVID-19 renewal.

The launch of 5G will be uneven.Europe is increasingly adopting technology and is gaining ground at the same pace as China, the USA, Korea, Japan and for the sake of the consolidation of the Arab powers of the Persian Territory (RSADP), which includes Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia. In 2019, the markets of the Persian Inlet region were among the first in the world to introduce commercial 5G services. Thus, by 2026 they will be able to cancel 62 million 5G subscriptions in total. There is another market for expanding 5G in the world. In the regions of Western America and the edges of the Persian inlet, mobile connections up to 5G become 84% and 73% of all mobile subscriptions. Therefore, in Pivnichno-Skhidnya Asia there will be the largest share of 5G subscriptions – on the level 1.4 billion.   

“This iconic 20th edition of Ericsson MobilityReport shows what we are experiencing at the new stage of the 5G series. At the same time, the expansion and expansion of coverage in such new markets as China, the USA and New Korea will accelerate. Now is the time to introduce the most innovative practices and show all the advantages of 5G. Businesses and households are also preparing to live in a post-pandemic world, and digitalization based on 5G plays a vital role in this, — comments Fredrik Jejdling, Vice President and Product Manager, Ericsson.

 

Mobile traffic growth

 

The transfer of data continues to grow from day to day.Global mobile data traffic – Behind the blame is the traffic that is generated by fixed dartless access – having transferred 49 EB per month at the end of 2020. According to forecasts, it will grow approximately 5 times and reach 237 EB per month in 2026. Smartphones, which generate 95% of all traffic, also generate more data than before. Data consumption per smartphone averages over 10 GB of data per month and, according to forecasts, this figure will reach 35 GB per month until the end of 2026.

The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating digitalization, as well asshows the importance of a reliable high-speed mobile broadband connection and reinforces the need for one. Nine out of ten postal telecommunications services (PPS), which launched 5G, are offering wireless access (4G and/or 5G). It is important to work for the future, as the traffic of fixed drone-free access will grow this year and reach 64 EB in 2026.
