By the end of 2021, 5G users are predicted to reach 580 million


 The number of 5G cellular subscribers is predicted to exceed 580 million by the end of 2021. This increase is driven by the fact that there will be one million new subscribers every day.
This is the content of the latest 20th edition of the Mobility Report from Ericsson. Ericsson says that 5G has the potential to be the most widely used mobile generation in a short period of time.



If we look further, by the end of 2026 it is estimated that the number of 5G subscribers can reach 3.5 billion and the population coverage of the fifth generation network will reach 60%.





This pandemic has caused a surge in demand for faster connections, as we now rely heavily on the internet to meet our personal and business needs remotely,



However, usage speeds vary greatly by region. For example, Europe is off to a slower start and continues to lag far behind the Chinese, United States, South Korea, Japan, and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets in terms of speed of 5G adoption.





The number of 5G subscribers is expected to surpass 1 billion two years faster than 4G LTE for the same achievement. A key factor behind this is China's early commitment to 5G and the fact that commercial 5G equipment is available earlier and is more affordable. More than 300 5G smartphone models have been announced or commercially launched.





This commercial 5G momentum is expected to continue in the coming years, driven by the increasing role of connectivity as a key component of post-COVID-19 economic recovery.



The Northeast Asia region is expected to have the largest number of 5G subscriptions in 2026, with around 1.4 billion 5G subscriptions.



Meanwhile, 5G subscription penetration rates in North America and the GCC are expected to be the highest, with 5G mobile subscribers accounting for 84% and 73% of the region's total subscriptions, respectively.
