India
Get ready to use a lot more data: in the next five years, the average Indian smartphone user is expected to burn through 70GB of mobile data each month, nearly double what we use now.
This big jump comes thanks to faster and cheaper phones, wider network coverage, and booming 5G adoption.
India set for 1.1B 5G subscriptions
India's move to 5G is picking up serious speed: by 2031, over 1.1 billion 5G subscriptions are expected to be on 5G (that's 81% subscription penetration).
As folks switch over, old-school 4G subscriptions will drop sharply.
Nitin Bansal, MD, Ericsson India, says this shift is powering digital inclusion and innovation across the country.
Basically, our phones are becoming even bigger parts of everyday life.
