There will be more than 400 million 5G connections – equivalent to just over 14% of total mobile connections – in Asia Pacific by 2025, according to GSMA’s Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2022 report.

Today, 5G is commercially available in 14 markets, with others, including India and Vietnam, going live in the coming months.
