Latin America: 5G share in mobile subscribers 2025, by country

Published by Stephanie Chevalier, Feb 22, 2021
In 2025, 5G connections are expected to account for 12 percent of all mobile connections in Mexico. In Brazil, this share is projected to amount to 18 percent.

Current situation

In 2019, only five wireless networks operating in Latin America and the Caribbean used the 5G technology. This translated to a total of 1.3 thousand 5G subscriptions and a 5G penetration rate of zero percent registered in the region by year-end 2019. On the global level, there were 12.9 million of such subscriptions this year, concentrated in North-East Asia and North America.

Future developments

By 2025, Latin America is expected to have 92 million 5G subscribers, which will translate to a penetration rate of 13 percent, making it the second most used technology, along with 3G. LTE is forecast to dominate the market, concentrating over two thirds of all subscriptions. Worldwide, 5G subscription are projected to approach 2.8 billion by 2025, with over 1.8 in Asia alone.
