China to outpace USA on LTE

Stefan Mileschin · 15th May 2015, 13:38

There were over 100 million LTE subscriptions taken out in China last year with China Mobile taking a 90 percent market share.

And in 2015, ABI Research believes that China will overtake the USA to be the biggest 4G market in the world, with 500 million LTE subscriptions.

In the fourth quarter of last year, LTE subscriptions worldwide rose by 149.1 million – overtaking 3G subscriptions by 10.9 percent.

ABO expects subscriptions to grow at a CAGR of 21 percent between this year and 2020, reaching 3.5 billion.

Asia Pacific is the prime region for LTE subs, followed by North America and Western Europe.

By 2020, global 2G subscriptions will continue to decline and stand at 1.69 billion.

Consolidations in the Western European market meant there were some short term fluctuations to mobile subscriptions.
