With massive adoption of 5G, global mobile data consumption is set to explode in the coming years. From an average of 9GB per month per person in 2020, it is expected to rise to 35GB by 2026.

Every day, about one million new 5G subscriptions are taken out worldwide, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report. By the end of 2021, the 500-million mark should be well passed. China, North America and the Middle East are the most enthusiastic about 5G, while Europe is lagging behind, due to the late arrival of offers.
