In 2023, global 5G users will exceed 1 billion, and China will account for half of the country.

All mobile phone users are expecting the arrival of the 5G era, and Chinese citizens are even more eager to wait. According to reports, research institutions have analyzed that by 2023, China's 5G users accounted for more than half of the world.

On the morning of the 19th, Beijing time, CNBC said that the research company CCS Insight released a report on Wednesday that the next-generation mobile communication technology 5G will be in place by 2020. In 2023, the number of 5G users worldwide will exceed 1 billion, and China will account for more than half. By 2025, the number of 5G users worldwide will exceed 2.5 billion.

Global 2G users will exceed 1 billion in 2023, and will exceed 2.5 billion in 2025.

Marina Koytcheva, vice president of CCS Insight, said: "By benefiting from the rise of government support, Huawei and other local manufacturers, and the alarming speed of Chinese consumers upgrading to 4G, China will dominate the global 5G market. ”

CCS Insight also said that 5G's take-off speed will exceed any previous generation of mobile communication technology. Currently, the United States, South Korea and Japan are competing to launch the world's first commercial 5G network.

So far, some 5G technical specifications have not yet reached a consensus on a global scale, so there are still some uncertainties in the technology. For example, how and how a network operator deploys a large number of new base stations, lacks a clear business case, and whether consumers are willing to upgrade their phones to support 5G networks.

Even so, some technology companies have made progress in the 5G field. For example, Qualcomm announced yesterday that it has successfully implemented a 5G data connection based on a 5G modem chipset for mobile terminals and presented the first 5G smartphone reference design for a new generation of cellular connectivity.

In the test, 5G download speed reached 1000 Mbps, which means users can download a two-hour HD movie in 12 seconds. In addition, 5G will also be widely used in areas such as driverless cars.
