As a result of the growth in 5G adoption, coverage and capacity, as well as the migration into 4G migration in central and eastern Europe, mobile data traffic in Europe will almost triple by 2028, according to the 2023 Mobile Economy Report from the GSMA.
A study conducted in 48 territories indicates that 5G subscribers are interested in adding high-speed services and content to their mobile contracts as a result of the increasing demand for high-quality gaming, extended reality and video content. In turn, these demands will be required by operators to continue investing in Europe's mobile networks, which by 2030 are expected to spend over €198 billion on upgrading their networks.
Moreover, the report, which evaluates the value of the mobile ecosystem to Europe's economy, includes the following analysis of the mobile ecosystem's economic impact:
In 2022, the GSMA predicted that the mobile ecosystem would generate 110 billion euros in taxes, with employment taxes and social security generating 50 billion euros, followed by services, VAT, sales taxes, and excise duties at 40 billion euros.
