Half of India to have 5G mobile subscribers by 2030, projects GSMA

India will see an unprecedented growth in the number of 5G mobile subscribers, and an explosion of data usage in the next six years, according to GSMA Intelligence projections. GSMA Intelligence is a market intelligence service that provides data, analysis, and forecasts for mobile and communications industries.

GSMA says by 2030, half of the Indian population will be on 5G, with over 641 million subscribers, growing at 49 per cent — the fastest amongst emerging 5G markets since 2003 — just after Latin America, which is projected to grow by 55 per cent to 425 million subscribers.
