Global Mobile Trends 2026
Opportunity in an era of upheaval
Over the past decade, capex among telecoms operators has remained high. Per-user revenue, meanwhile, has steadily declined. A focus on financial challenges and market upheaval in telecoms is understandable but fatalistic. It overlooks the potential for new technologies and architectures to drive value for operators, consumers, businesses and society.
Global Mobile Trends 2026 highlights the opportunities and innovations ahead, as well as the challenges facing the industry. Covering topics including AI, 5G, autonomous networks, devices, security, quantum, satellites, energy innovation and eSIM, the report focuses on what matters in 2026 and the implications for the industry.
This latest edition of Global Mobile Trends delivers expert insights into the key trends that will define the mobile ecosystem in 2026 and beyond. Backed by GSMA Intelligence’s industry-leading research and data, the report provides an authoritative look at the forces shaping the next wave of connectivity and innovation.
