A new report has revealed that more than 50% of the world’s 5G users are based in China, solidifying the country’s position as a global leader in next-generation mobile technology. The report, released by a leading telecommunications research firm, shows that China has surpassed all other nations in terms of 5G adoption, with over 1 billion 5G subscribers as of late 2024.
China’s rapid deployment of 5G infrastructure, supported by major telecom companies like Huawei, has played a crucial role in this achievement. The country’s expansive coverage and ambitious rollout plans have helped it lead the way in 5G penetration, with both urban and rural areas benefiting from advanced network capabilities.
The report also highlights how China’s large population and tech-driven economy have contributed to the massive uptake of 5G services. With 5G offering faster internet speeds and enabling innovations in fields such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, China is positioning itself as a pioneer in the global 5G race.
While other nations, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia, are gradually expanding their 5G networks, China’s dominance remains undisputed for now. The continued expansion of 5G in China is expected to foster further technological advancements and reshape industries worldwide.
