Global Mobile Trends
Global Mobile Trends offers a wealth of data and insight on the state of the mobile ecosystem today and maps its future development. This flagship report, produced by GSMA Intelligence, the research arm of the GSMA, compiles data on mobile subscriber growth trends, mobile internet adoption, devices, and industry financials from both a global and regional perspective.
In this report we demonstrate evidence of a major shift in mobile to Asia, particularly India, which has now overtaken China to become the industry’s key growth market, and the transition to a smartphone-powered ‘mobile-first’ internet, which is delivering a new generation of internet users. The study also underscores the role of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things in ushering a new era of automation.
Global Mobile Trends is organised into five sections: Megatrends; Consumer Insights; Industry Performance and Mobile Ecosystem Dynamics; Future View and Regional View.
