Ericsson predicts 1 billion 5G subscriptions in 2023

Share Share ShareShare
  • 5G will covermore than20 percent of the global population six years from now, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report
  • Mobile data traffic continues to grow, primarily fueled by increased viewing of video content
  • LTE will be the dominant access technology by end of this year,driven by demand for improved user experience and faster networks

Ericsson forecaststhere will be1 billion 5G subscriptions for enhanced mobile broadband by 2023. This prediction is among the key statistics presentedin the November edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report released today.

Expected to be deployed first in dense urban areas, 5G will cover over 20 percent of the world’s population by the end of 2023. The first commercial networks based on 5G New Radio (NR) are expected to go live in 2019, with major deployments from 2020. Early 5G deployments areforeseenin severalmarkets, includingthe US, South Korea, Japan, and China.

Global mobile data trafficto surpass 100 Exa bytes per month in 2023

Mobile data traffic is expected tosurge by eight times during the forecast period, reaching 110 Exabytes per month by 2023.This corresponds to 5.5 million years of HD video streaming.

All regions maintain mobile data traffic growth, with North America showing the highestaverage usageper smartphone, exceeding 7GB per month bythe end of 2017.

Video consumption continues to fuel mobile broadband traffic growth.The driving force behind video’s uptrend are the young millennials – those in the 15 to 24 age bracket – who stream 2.5X more than those over 45 years of age.

Streaming video in higher resolutions and an emerging trend of increased streaming of immersive video formats, such as 360-degree video, will have an impact on data traffic consumption volumes. For example, a YouTube 360-degree video uses 4 to 5 times as much bandwidth as a normal YouTube video of the sameperceived quality.

LTE deployments – momentum continues

By the end of this year, LTE will be the dominant mobile access technology. It is estimated to reach 5.5 billion subscriptions and cover more than 85 percent of the world’s population by the end of 2023.

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) has been launched in more than 125 networks in over 60 countries across all regions. VoLTE subscriptions are projected to reach 5.5 billion by the end of 2023, accounting for more than 80 percent of the combined LTE and 5G subscriptions.

Smartwatches are one of the latest devices to use VoLTE. Users are able to make voice calls directly on their smartwatch, without having a smartphone nearby (multi-SIM). Calls can also be transferred between a user’s smartphone and watch.

Niklas Heuveldop, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Technology and Emerging Business, Ericsson, says: “The latest report highlights trends in mobile subscription and data traffic growth, as well as the industry’s effort to tackle the increasing demands on mobile networks globally. In addition, the report examines the emergence of new use cases as network capabilities evolve – smartwatches, IoT alarms, and augmented reality-assisted maintenance and repair, to name a few. As we prepare for 5G, these trends willcontinue to set the agenda for the mobile industry going forward.”

A look at the India Market – Mobile data traffic in India to grow 11 times from 2017 to 2023

The total mobile data traffic per month in India is expectedtogrow 11 timesduring the forecast period from 1.3 EB to 14 EB by 2023.  The reportestimatesthat the monthly data usage per smartphone(GB/month) in India willincrease 5 times from 3.9 GB in 2017 to 18 GB by 2023.
