Rising Data Consumption Driving Investments in Advanced 5G Technologies and Solutions
The growing adoption of smartphones, AR/VR devices, IoT networks, and streaming applications is fueling demand for higher data speeds, leading communications service providers (CSPs) to invest in advanced 5G technology. For instance, in October 2024, Ericsson released seven software products for 5G Advanced, which are intended to boost performance, user experience, and revenue growth for Central and South African Service Providers (CSPs). These new technologies, predicated on open network architectures, AI, automation, and intent-based networks, enable CSPs to control the network to achieve business and sustainability objectives, with real-time adjustments and observability. The seven new 5G Advanced products and subscriptions, including real-time AI automation, outdoor positioning, and mission-critical services, provide improved network capabilities. These technologies assist CSPs in network automation scaling, energy efficiency optimization, network capacity enhancement, and device battery life improvement for devices like smartphones, wearables, and AR/VR glasses. It additionally features sophisticated functions for enhancing customer satisfaction and device performance.
Market Segmentation
Enhanced Mobile Broadband: A Key Segment in Market Growth
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) is one of the 5G service categories that offers greater data rates, bandwidth, reliability, and lower latency to support applications like high-definition video streaming, immersive media, mobile enterprise, and telemedicine. The growth in the market is mainly fueled by the demand for ultra-high-speed internet and uninterrupted connectivity since eMBB can be used to support those applications that require high bandwidth and speed. For instance, in March 2025, Ericsson and Zain Bahrain expanded their mobile broadband network and renewed a managed services agreement. This involves modernizing the existing radio access network (RAN) and offering solutions to enhance network performance and capacity to address increasing data demands. The new managed services contract includes network operation, field support, and optimization, with an emphasis on user experience and operational efficiency enhancement. This partnership aligns with Bahrain's digital transformation objectives and emphasizes Ericsson's dedication to bolstering 5G capabilities in the region.
Regional Outlook
The global 5G services market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Asia-Pacific Maintains Strong Market Position
Asia-Pacific holds a significant share, owing to the market growth is primarily driven by the government initiatives of digital inclusion, spectrum auctions, and infrastructure development, such as India's village connectivity plans, which are driving global 5G deployments and market expansion.
