5G is set to become the dominant mobile technology in mainland China in 2024, 
surpassing LTE in the process, new research has claimed. 

According to a report from the GSM Association (GSMA), the organization said 
it expects China to be the first country in the world to hit 1 billion 5G 
connections. That significant milestone, GSMA believes, should be hit some 
time in 2025. 

By 2030, GSMA predicts China to have 1.6 billion 5G connections, with 
adoption sitting at 88%. LTE in freefall 

In 2023, the report adds, mainland China accounts for almost two-thirds 
(around 60%) of all global 5G connections, with the number of compatible base 
stations has now surpassed 2.3 million. When it comes to the adoption of LTE, 
on the other hand, GSMA expects this to drop from 64% in 2022, to below 50% 
this year. Read more

The move is going to leave major consequences on the Chinese economy, the 
organization further stated, claiming it will add $290 billion to its economy 
in 2030. Virtually all industries are expected to benefit from the increasing 
adoption of 5G. 

Internet of Things (IoT), a system of internet-connected devices whose 
sensors generate mountains of data from the physical world, stands to gain 
the most from 5G. Licensed cellular IoT connections, GSMA explains, should 
grow from 1.8 billion last year, to 3.6 billion by 2023. 

Chinas biggest telecommunications firms are expected to set aside more than 
$290 billion in capital expenditure between today and 2030, most of which 
will go for 5G-powering projects. Here's our list of the best 5G phones right
