Long Term 5G Adoption Will Track Population, Early Trends Notwithstanding

Juniper Research anticipates that over 75 percent of global 5G connections will be in the Far East and China. This is due to the early launches in South Korea by all tier one operators, which was followed by significant launches of commercial 5G networks in China. 

Long term adoption trends will follow population, so by 2025 Asian 5G customers will outnumber those from every other region.

At the end of 2019, there were an estimated 4.5 million 5G users in the Far East, roughly 80 percent of the global total, nearly all of them in South Korea, Juniper Research estimates. 

But Juniper also predicts the United States and South Korea will be the fastest adopters of 5G, with 75 percent of all 5G subscribers attributable to these two countries by the end of 2020. That does not make sense to me, but that is what Juniper says

By 2025, Asia will still have more than 60 percent of 5G connections, Ericsson predicts.
