DATA traffic per smartphone per month in South-East Asia and Oceania is expected to grow from 3.6GB to 17GB at a compounded annual growth rate of 29%, says a report.
The Ericsson Mobility Report June 2019 says the growth will be supported by an increase in LTE subscriptions and a change in young people’s video viewing habits. The report also predicts that the total mobile data traffic per month in the region will grow seven times from 2.3 exabyte (EB) in 2018 to 16EB by 2024, while total smartphone subscriptions will surpass 1 billion, growing at a CAGR of 8%. Meanwhile, total mobile subscriptions are expected to grow 7% from about 800 million in 2018 to 1.2 billion in 2024.
