IEKView: Major Predictions for the Mobile Communications Industry
2025/07/02
In recent years, the telecom and mobile communications industries have made significant investments in the 5G spectrum and its infrastructure and have been pushing for its commercialization. However, overall returns have yet to meet expectations. Under the dual pressures of stagnant pricing and required ongoing infrastructure investment, the topline growth of the global telecom industry remains weak. The total revenue in 2024 decreased by 1% from 2023, and the average revenue per user (ARPU) has continued to decline.
To revitalize the industry, Chairman of the GSMA, Mats Granryd, proposed the "GROW" strategy and suggested that telecom operators should focus on the deployment of 5G Standalone (SA) networks, proactively explore new use cases to boost revenue, leverage innovative technologies such as Open Gateway and AI to develop new markets, and adopt forward-looking planning for future spectrum resources to ensure ongoing innovation and growth. According to GSMA, the Open Gateway initiative launched in 2023 has attracted the participation of around 80% of telecom operators around the world, indicating a high level of willingness for collaboration. The Open API market is projected to reach US$300 billion and could expand into verticals such as automotive, aviation, and finance. The integration with AI will further accelerate API commercialization.
