In keeping with other studies showing that the latest wave of mobile comms networks seem to be defying the economic headwinds around the globe, a study from Juniper Research has forecast that communications operators are likely to generate $625bn from 5G services globally by 2027, a substantial rise from the $310bn predicted for the end of 2023.
The report, Operator revenue strategies: Business models, emerging technologies & market forecasts 2023-2027, predicted this growth of over 100% over the next four years would be driven by the migration of mobile subscriptions to 5G networks and the increasing inclusion of eSIMs in devices such as laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots.
