The Mobile Economy Eurasia 2024
Pages
45
Released
MAY 2024

The early stages of 5G development are underway in Eurasia, with governments prioritising its integration into national development plans and operators investing in 5G infrastructure and in applications to meet the growing demand for enhanced connectivity. The Eurasia region is expected to experience a significant increase in 5G adoption in the next few years, based on a return to stable conditions, with projections rising from less than 1% currently to just over 40% by 2030. Although 4G will remain the dominant technology for the foreseeable future, 4G adoption levels will begin to decline from 2026 as 5G gathers momentum because of the availability of more affordable 5G smartphones.

In addition to a range of technology, socioeconomic and financial datasets, the report examines key trends across the mobile industry: building 5G momentum; the rise of network APIs; opportunities in AI; growth in fintech; and increased efforts in satellite-related activities. Additionally, it explores mobile‘s impact on climate action and the SDGs. Finally, the research discusses key industry enablers, including policies for the effective allocation of spectrum.
