NEW DELHI: Rapid 5G deployment by Indian telecom service providers will enable 5G subscriptions to reach around 31 million by the end of 2022 and 690 million by the end of 2028, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report 2022. This will transalate into nearly 53 percent of all subscriptions by 2028.
Total mobile subscriptions in India are estimated to grow to 1.3 billion in 2028.
The average data traffic per smartphone is projected to grow from 25 GB per month in 2022 to around 54 GB per month in 2028.
The smartphone subscriptions in India as a percentage of total mobile subscriptions are expected to grow from 77% in 2022 to 94% in 2028, said the report.
4G subscriptions are expected to peak in 2024 at around 930 million and will thereafter decline to an estimated 570 million by the year 2028.
Globally 5G subscriptions are likely to top one billion by the end of this year, and five billion by the end of 2028, despite current and developing economic challenges in many parts of the world.
“5G will play a crucial role in achieving India’s digital inclusion goals especially for bringing broadband to rural and remote homes. In fact, enhanced mobile broadband is serving as the foundation for the Government’s “Digital India” vision by enabling people to access public services,” said Nitin Bansal, Head of Ericsson India and Head of Network Solutions for South east Asia, Oceania and India, Ericsson.
Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and fixed wireless access (FWA) are expected to be the early use-cases for 5G in India which will help address the concern of the limited fixed broadband penetration levels in the country and improve the data experience while on the move.
Currently, the average data traffic per smartphone in India is the highest in the world. It is projected to grow from 25 GB per month in 2022 to around 54 GB per month in 2028 – a CAGR of 14 percent. This is driven by high growth in the number of smartphone users and the increase in average usage per smartphone, the report noted.
Globally, about 110 million 5G subscriptions were added between July-September 2022, bringing the total to about 870 million. As forecast in previous reports, 5G is still expected to reach one billion subscriptions by the end of this year – two years faster than 4G did, following its launch.
“The statistic reinforces 5G as the fastest-scaling mobile connectivity generation. Key drivers include the timely availability of devices from multiple vendors, with prices falling faster than for 4G, and China’s large early 5G deployments,” said the report.
North America and North East Asia continue to see strong 5G growth, with 5G subscription penetration in the regions expected to reach about 35 percent by end of 2022.
