Nearly half of China's 5G mobile phone users
2024-01-30
A signal tower stands in Gumu Township, Gaize County, Ali Prefecture, Xizang Autonomous Region. When you turn on your mobile phone, the symbol "5G" will pop up on the screen - on September 30, 2023, the 5G base station in Gumu Township will be completed and put into operation, marking that all villages and towns in the Xizang Autonomous Region have access to 5G networks. This is a true portrayal of the development of 5G applications in China. As applications enter deeper waters, the potential of 5G in China's high-quality economic and social development is gradually being unleashed. The 2023 Communication Industry Statistics Bulletin released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that since the commercialization of 5G in 2019, investment in the communication industry has maintained positive growth for five consecutive years, with an annual investment scale of over 400 billion yuan for four consecutive years, of which the cumulative investment in 5G has exceeded 730 billion yuan. In 2023, three basic telecom enterprises and China Tower Corporation will complete a total of 420.5 billion yuan of telecom fixed assets investment. Among them, the investment in 5G reached 190.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%, accounting for 45.3% of the total investment. At the end of 2023, the National Conference on Industry and Information Technology proposed to coordinate the work of "construction, utilization, and research", promote the deployment of 5G and gigabit optical networks, and accelerate the layout of intelligent computing facilities. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the total number of 5G base stations in China has reached 3.377 million, further consolidating the network infrastructure and continuously enriching network applications. "China's 5G network scale and quality are already leading in the world, but in order to tap into the potential of 5G more widely, deeply, and safely, network construction must be further accelerated, with a focus on promoting blind coverage in remote areas, deep coverage in key scenarios, and the development of 5G industry private networks." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced that in 2024, 5G networks will advance towards deep coverage. It is understood that the current proportion of 5G mobile phone users in China has reached nearly half. As of the end of 2023, the number of mobile phone users in China reached 1.727 billion, and the penetration rate of mobile phone users reached 122.5 units per hundred people, which is 15.5 points higher than the global average (107 units per hundred people). Mobile phone users are accelerating their migration to 5G, with 805 million users, accounting for 46.6% of mobile phone users, which is 2.5 times the global average; This year, there was a net increase of 244 million 5G mobile phone users, which is 38.4 million more than the previous year. Deepening and expanding the application of industry integration. As of the end of 2023, the industry has developed a total of 31600 5G virtual private networks, which is 2.2 times the number at the end of the previous year. The application of 5G industry has evolved from point demonstration to large-scale replication in some fields. With over 94000 5G application cases, it has been integrated into 71 out of 97 national economic categories, covering nearly 70% of major industries, and replicated on a large scale in industries such as mining, power, and ports; Achieve coverage of all cities in 31 provinces (regions, cities) nationwide. The promotion of "5G+Industrial Internet" has been accelerated, and 5G fully connected factories have been launched in succession, promoting the expansion of 5G applications from peripheral assistance to core production control links. The delay, reliability and other indicators of 5G networks provide guarantee for the stability of production business. In 2024, with the vigorous development of the digital economy and new industrialization, various industries will undergo a digital transformation
