At the same time, the report said that China continues to maintain global leadership in 5G technology.marketOne of the states. It is estimated that by 2025, China’s 5G connections will exceed 800 million.

GSMA President Mats Granryd is online on 23SpeaksMentioned in 5GBig data、artificial intelligenceThe Internet of Things and the opportunities provided by smart interconnection will be unprecedented. By 2025, operatorsinvestment1.1 trillionAmerican dollarOn the 5G network.

GSMALargest chinaPresidentSihan told the CBN reporter that only China can successfully host the MWC world premiere in February this year because China has implemented effective measures against the epidemic and has a strong mobile ecosystem, and Shanghai is also the world’s 5G development.LeaderNoichi.

Investments related to 5G will help the global economy overcome the impact of the epidemic and initiate economic recovery in the post-epidemic era. Research from the GSMA shows that by 2030, 5G upgrades and the new services they provide will contribute more than US $ 600 billion to the global economy each year. This will represent about 2.1% of the expected revenue growth of all industries and sectors over the next ten years.

The benefits of 5G in the next ten years will focus onmanufacturing, Service industry andRetail saleOf the 600 billion US dollars in the world economy, theseindustryThe contribution represented almost a third.

The report shows that in 2020, China will add more than 200 million 5G connections, accounting for 87% of global 5G connections. In 2020, despite the outbreak of the epidemic, Chinese operators have deployed around 600,000 new 5G base stations and announced plans to deploy more 5G base stations in 2021.

At the opening ceremony of 2021MWC, Liu Liehong, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated in his speech that the new generation of mobile communication technology represented by 5G is booming and has become an economic high.qualityA major driving force behind development has profoundly changed people’s production and lifestyles.

China actively promotes the new generation of mobile communication technology andIndustrial development. So far, the cumulative number of 5G base stations built across the country has exceeded 718,000, representing roughly 70% of the global total. The 5G network in standalone network mode has covered all cities in the country. The number of 5G terminal connections exceeds 200 million. At present, the number of 5G smartphones on the market in China has reached 218, and the sales of mid-to-high-end 5G mobile phones above 2,000 yuan have accounted for more than 90%.

The rapid transition from 5G means that China’s 4G application has peaked. The report shows that in 2020, the 4G penetration rate will decline for the first time.consumptionPeople are turning to increasingly popular 5G services, and 4G will continue to trend downward for years to come.

Although affected by the epidemic, the willingness of most markets to upgrade to 5G has increased rather than declined. The will of the Chinese market is particularly strong. China’s 5G growth has benefited from policy support, carrier deployments, and terminal ecosystems.

According to the report, from the operators perspective,Chinese telecommunicationwithChina UnicomMore than 320,000 5G base stations are jointly built and operated across the country. This is the world’s largest commercial 5G network co-construction and sharing agreement, covering more than 300 cities. As of September 2020, this measure has helped operators save 60 billion yuan (about 9.3 billion yuan). US dollars) incapitalspending. It is expected to help operators save another 270 billion yuan (about $ 41.8 billion) over the next five years.

From a consumer perspective, according to the GSMA Consumer Focus Survey 2020, Chinese consumers are more eager to upgrade to 5G than consumers in other markets around the world. This is due to the increase in the proportion of 5G equipment sales. Data shows that 5G smartphone sales in China in 2020 will be 163 million, accounting for almost 53% of total smartphone sales. By 2025, 4G will account for 53% of China’s total connections, while 5G will account for 47%.
