Insights
Ericsson's report shows accelerating 5G FWA adoption with enhanced monetization potential, positioning the company to benefit from continued network investments.
The latest Ericsson Mobility Report reveals a significant acceleration in 5G-enabled Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) adoption, with 51% of global service providers now offering speed-based tariff plans—up from 40% in 2024. This shift is critically important as it enables operators to structure offerings similar to fiber services with tiered pricing models, driving higher average revenue per user compared to previous generations of wireless access technology.
The report forecasts 2.9 billion 5G subscriptions globally by year-end 2025, representing approximately one-third of all mobile subscriptions. More telling for Ericsson's business outlook is the projection that 5G networks will handle 80% of global mobile traffic by 2030, creating substantial demand for network equipment and services.
Regional disparities in 5G mid-band deployment highlight untapped growth opportunities, particularly in Europe where coverage sits at 50% of population versus 90%+ in North America and 95% in India. This gap represents a significant addressable market for Ericsson's infrastructure solutions.
The 19% year-over-year growth in mobile network data traffic, while showing a declining growth rate, still projects a doubling of traffic through 2030. This sustained growth trajectory necessitates continued investment in network capacity expansion, directly benefiting equipment providers like Ericsson.
The report's emphasis on 5G Standalone (5G SA) capabilities enabling value-based rather than volume-based monetization aligns perfectly with Ericsson's strategic focus. The BT Group case study demonstrates real-world commercial deployment with their 5G SA network now covering 40% of UK population across 50 cities—evidence that the technology Ericsson provides is moving from theoretical to deployed.
For Ericsson, these trends point to continued demand for its core network infrastructure products as operators pursue new revenue streams through differentiated connectivity services across consumer and enterprise segments.
- More than half of all service providers globally who offer fixed wireless access now do so with speed-based monetization benefits enhanced by 5G
- 5G subscriptions to top 2.9 billion globally by the end of 2025
- 5G networks forecast to handle 80 percent of global mobile traffic by the end of 2030
While about 80 percent of the global CSPs sampled by Ericsson currently offer FWA services, the most rapid area of growth continues to be among CSPs offering 5G-enabled speed-based tariff plans.
With 5G FWA, service providers can offer a range of subscriber packages with different data speeds and entertainment options - similar to cable or fiber offerings - increasing monetization opportunities for CSPs compared to earlier generations of FWA.
The June 2025 Ericsson Mobility Report (EMR) shows that more than half (51 percent) of global CSPs with FWA offerings, now include speed-based options - up from 40 percent on the same period in June 2024 - driven by high adoption in
FWA is projected to account for more than 35 percent of new fixed broadband connections, with an expected increase to 350 million by the end of 2030. 5G FWA plays a crucial role in expanding broadband access, especially in areas where traditional wired infrastructure may be less feasible.
On 5G subscriptions, the June 2025 Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts subscriptions to top 2.9 billion globally by the end of 2025 - about one third of all mobile subscriptions. The 5G subscription forecast for the end of 2030 remains at 6.3 billion.
Mobile network data traffic increased by 19 percent from the first quarter of 2024 to the corresponding period in 2025. Despite a declining growth rate, net added traffic will continue to increase year-on-year, with the June 2025 EMR forecasting that mobile data traffic will more than double through the forecast period through the end of 2030.
5G networks handled 35 percent of global mobile traffic by the end of 2024, with forecasters expecting the figure to top 80 percent by the end of 2030.
In
Through commentary, insights and customer/partner case stories, the June 2025 EMR highlights the ability of 5G Standalone (5G SA) and 5G Advanced to create monetization opportunities for CSPs globally, based on value delivery rather than data volume.
The report highlights how CSPs are pursuing new commercial opportunities by offering differentiated connectivity services to consumers, enterprises and public authorities. Use cases include broadcast/video production, point of sale systems, events/arenas, gaming, fixed wireless access, virtual private networks, and enterprise productivity.
Deeper dive articles include:
- Study on how GenAI will impact future mobile network traffic. Only applications with high adoption and high data rate requirements will impact mobile network traffic growth globally.
- Article (co-written with BT Group) about the CSP's launch strategy for 5G Standalone, which they branded "More than a network upgrade." By the end of March 2025, the 5G SA network was live and available to more than 28 million people across 50 major towns and cities in the
UK , covering more than 40 percent of the population. - Article (co-written with Sony) on how the company continually works with new and disruptive technologies to enhance the entertainment businesses. Dynamic slicing, in combination with Quality on Demand (QoD) APIs, will enable live media production over mobile networks, delivering great user experiences.
Erik Ekudden, Ericsson Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, says: "We are at an inflection point, where 5G and the ecosystem are set to unleash a wave of innovation. The recent advancements in 5G standalone (SA) networks, coupled with the progress in 5G-enabled devices, have led to an ecosystem poised to unlock transformative opportunities for connected creativity."
He adds: "Service providers have recognized this potential of 5G and are beginning to monetize it through innovative service offerings that extend beyond merely selling data plans. To fully realize the potential of 5G, it is essential to continue deploying 5G SA and to further build out mid-band sites. 5G SA capabilities serve as a catalyst for driving new business growth opportunities."
