Many observers would not be at all surprised if 5G subscriptions grew faster than did 4G, in the first five years. In part, that estimate would be in accord with mobile service adoption trends. For each digital generation, subscription growth happened at a faster rate than for the prior generation.
According to 5G Americas, there were 225 million 5G subscribers activated between the third quarter of 2019 and Q3 2020. That is four times the rate for 4G, 5G Americas argues.
Most of that growth probably happened in China.
As of December 2020, there were 229 million 5G subscriptions globally, which represents a 66 percent increase over last quarter, says 5G Americas.
5G adoption rates generally have been expected to match or exceed 4G adoption rates.
Still, 5G adoption rates might well vary by country, as such rates have occurred in the past.
