There will be 24 million 5G subscriptions in service worldwide at the end of 2021, supporting both mobile and fixed broadband services, according to Mike Roberts, Ovum analyst and practice leader.
North America and Asia will each account for more than 40 percent of global 5G subscriptions at the end of 2021, followed by Europe with more than 10 percent of subscriptions, with the Middle East and Africa accounting for the remainder.
Ovum estimates that 5G services will be available in more than 20 markets worldwide by the end of 2021, with services in all four major world regions.
However, the vast majority of 5G subscriptions will be concentrated in the US, Japan, China, and South Korea, where major operators have revealed aggressive timelines for launching 5G services.
“The main use case for 5G through 2021 will be enhanced mobile broadband services, although fixed broadband services will also be supported, especially in the US,” said Roberts.
