Between 2024 and 2030, global mobile data traffic will increase by nearly 200%.

NDO - Ericsson forecasts that global mobile data traffic will increase by nearly 200% from 2024 to the end of 2030. The number of 5G subscribers in Southeast Asia is expected to reach approximately 680 million by the end of 2030. Average data traffic per smartphone in Southeast Asia will increase from 19 GB/month in 2024 to 39 GB/month in 2030.

Mobile network data speeds will nearly triple by the end of 2030.

5G Standalone (5G SA) and 5G Advanced are expected to be top priorities for telecommunications service providers (CSPs) this decade, as they deploy new features to create value-focused services rather than just focusing on data volume.

This analysis was presented in the November edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, with forecasts extending to the end of 2030.

According to the report, mobile network data speeds are expected to nearly triple by the end of 2030 compared to current levels.

The report also points out that leading service providers are now offering differentiated connectivity models, ensuring high-quality, uninterrupted connectivity when needed, thereby creating new revenue and growth business opportunities.

Areas for 5G SA deployment and testing around the world .

Nearly 20% of the approximately 320 commercial 5G CSPs are deploying 5G SA. Increasing the density of 5G SA base stations and expanding mid-band bandwidth are seen as key factors in fully exploiting the potential of 5G, including intelligent, programmable network features.

Currently, only about 30% of base stations globally deploy mid-band 5G. It is projected that nearly 60% of the 6.3 billion 5G subscribers worldwide by the end of 2030 will be 5G Standalone (SA) subscribers.

Global mobile data traffic is expected to undergo a major shift, with 5G networks accounting for approximately 80% of total mobile data traffic by the end of 2030, a sharp increase from 34% at the end of 2024.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) continues to grow globally and has become one of the second-largest 5G use cases, after Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).

In four of the six market regions, over 80% of CSPs have deployed FWAs. The percentage of FWA providers deploying rate-based packages, with downlink and uplink data parameters similar to cable or fiber optic services, has increased from 30% to 43% over the past year.

It is projected that, of the 350 million global FWA connections by the end of 2030, nearly 80% will be provided via 5G networks.

Southeast Asia: Monthly mobile data usage is projected to increase from 19 GB in 2024 to 39 GB in 2030.

In Southeast Asia and Oceania, the number of 5G subscribers is expected to reach approximately 680 million by the end of the forecast period. Countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are experiencing strong growth in 5G subscribers, driven by expanding network coverage, increasing user awareness of 5G, more affordable 5G devices, and promotional strategies from service providers.

In Vietnam, 5G was commercialized in October 2024. Developed 5G markets such as Australia and Singapore continue to leverage the advanced capabilities of 5G to deliver new services and use cases. Personalized 5G services for businesses are being rolled out in Australia as providers test and launch on-demand connectivity solutions.

Mobile data usage per smartphone in Southeast Asia is projected to surge from 19 GB/month in 2024 to 39 GB/month in 2030.

Ms. Rita Mokbel, President and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam.

Rita Mokbel, President and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam, shared: "The launch of 5G services in Vietnam will bring new experiences to users and accelerate the digitalization process of businesses. Vietnam has identified digital transformation as a top priority and a driver of national growth, and Ericsson is delighted to accompany the country on this 5G journey through collaborations with strategic partners such as Viettel and VNPT."

The report also addresses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), including generative AI applications, which have been integrated into devices such as smartphones, laptops, watches, and FWA products. AI can influence mobile network traffic both uplink and downlink, driving traffic growth far beyond current forecasts.

Other notable figures from the report include a forecast that global 5G subscriptions will reach nearly 2.3 billion by the end of 2024, accounting for 25% of total global mobile subscriptions. Notably, 5G subscriptions are expected to surpass global 4G subscriptions by 2027.

Additionally, the first 6G deployments are expected to begin in 2030, expanding and enhancing the capabilities of 5G SA and 5G Advanced.
