Mega Trends in the Region are Creating New Opportunities and Business Models for the 5G Enterprise Market

In the Asia-Pacific, Mega-Trends, such as growth in the ageing population, slowing or declining population growth, and migration from rural to urban areas, are posing new challenges to end-users in vertical industries. This is driving the need for enterprises to transform to enable new use cases that are critical to support and optimize enterprise business processes to improve efficiency.

Growth in the ageing population will drive new solutions to address the increase in chronic diseases and accessibility of medical services in the healthcare sector. Slowing or declining population growth will drive the need for automation and remote support because of low labor supply in the manufacturing sector. Migration from rural to urban areas has resulted in an increase in megacities in Asia-Pacific. It is also driving the need for the government and public sector to digitalize and expand the solutions that address urban challenges and improve the quality of life for citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a new Mega-Trend and is driving the need for broadband, remote work solutions, and 5G to support work from home and higher bandwidths and speeds.

The potential revenue for 5G enterprise is expected to grow at a CAGR of 46.4% from 2019 to 2024. The software segment presents the biggest opportunity as enterprises embark on their digital transformation journey. Growth opportunities exist within automation, edge computing, network slicing, and artificial intelligence (AI).

To spur the market demand for 5G, the supply side needs to increase the awareness and understanding of 5G. To address the lack of sufficient industry partnerships, there is a need for innovative ideas to unlock the potential of 5G. The gap between supply and demand, if left unchecked, will affect the adoption of 5G in Asia-Pacific. Mobile operators need to reassess how it is meeting the needs of end-users companies.
