5G subs in SE Asia & Oceania to hit 550M by 2029-end – Nation Thailand

Peter Jonsson, Executive Editor, of Ericsson Mobility Report, Ericsson, says: The rate of data growth in mobile networks reflects consumers passion for enhanced mobile broadband-related applications. This trend will increase in pace as more consumers worldwide embrace 5G and new use cases emerge, triggering further growth in data traffic. As most traffic is generated indoors, where people typically spend most of their time, there is a growing need to extend 5G mid-band coverage both indoors and outdoors to ensure a comprehensive 5G experience in all locations.

5G mid-band combines high capacity with good coverage, making it an ideal choice for delivering the full 5G experience. Global 5G mid-band population coverage is currently more than 40 %, an increase from 30 %in 2022. The increase is mainly driven by large-mid-band deployments in India, but also several mid-band deployments in Europe.

The report also explores wireless connectivity for the manufacturing industry, how 5G is becoming a key determinant of production output and how it enables the agility required to support rapid changes and reallocation of resources.

Southeast Asia Highlights: 5G subscriptions will reach around 550 million in Southeast Asia and Oceania by the end of 2029. Beyond creating the initial 5G infrastructure in the region, the focus of the service providers is towards diversifying service offerings for both consumers and enterprises. Enhancing customer experience, expanding network coverage and promoting digital transformations for businesses remain top priorities across the region.

Mobile data traffic per smartphone continues to grow strongly in Southeast Asia and Oceania and is expected to reach around 66GB per month in 2029 from 24GB per month in 2023 a CAGR of 19 Percent.

Head of Ericsson Thailand, Igor Maurell says, Enhancing customer experience, expanding network coverage and promoting digital transformation for businesses remain top priorities for service providers in Thailand. At Ericsson, we are looking to support the Thai service providers to provide the full benefits of 5G to consumers and enterprises in Thailand.
