ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT: MORE THAN HALF A BILLION 5G SUBSCRIPTIONS BY THE END OF 2021

摘要

The forecast, which features in the twentieth edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report , builds the expectation that 5G will become the fastest adopted mobile generation. About 3.5 billion 5G subscriptions and 60% 5G population coverage are forecast by the end of 2026. However, the pace of adoption varies widely by region. Europe is off to a slower start and has continued to fall far behind China, the U.S., Korea, Japan and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets in the pace of 5G deployments. Ericsson forecast that 5G is expected to surpass a billion subscriptions two years ahead of the 4G LTE timeline for the same milestone. Key factors behind that include China’s earlier commitment to 5G and the earlier availability and increasing affordability of commercial 5G devices.
