Reliance Jio tops in mobile data traffic globally, driven by 5G adoption

Reliance Jio has reaffirmed its dominance as the top mobile data provider globally for the third consecutive quarter, showcasing impressive year-on-year (YoY) growth that surpasses its international rivals, the company announced on Wednesday.

While China Mobile reported a modest 2 per cent YoY increase in data traffic, Jio’s growth soared to 24 per cent. Close competitors include China Telecom, which also recorded a 24 per cent rise, and India’s Airtel at 23 per cent. This significant discrepancy highlights Jio’s robust performance amidst a notable slowdown in China Mobile’s growth throughout 2024, enabling Jio to secure its title as the largest mobile data carrier worldwide.
