5G subscriptions are growing , with one-quarter of all mobile subscriptions projected to be 5G by the end of 2024 . This momentum is set to continue through the forecast period , with 5G expected to overtake 4G as the dominant mobile access technology by subscription for the first time in 2027 .
Although 5G population coverage is growing globally , 5G mid-band is only deployed in around 30 % of all sites globally outside of mainland China ; further densification of mid-band sites and deployments of 5G standalone , SA are required to harness the full potential of 5G .
5G subscription uptake continues to be strong . 5G is now expected to become the dominant mobile access technology by subscription in 2027 . This exceeds earlier predictions that it would overtake 4G in 2028 , driven partly by growth in China and India . p
