The report focuses on many areas talking about the upcoming technologies, and 5G is the one it discusses much. Although the coverage of 5G networks is not advancing so fast, the popularity of 5G mobile phones is already in full swing. The technology is still to roll out in the Indian market, but the hype and potential that it has are really huge.

Expected growth in the 5G industry Coming to the growth part for this advanced technology, the report does suggest some fascinating numbers. It also reveals that the potential is much higher than just some facts stated for it. It is not just the better speed, robust infrastructure, latency, and data generation only. India has the biggest rise in intention to upgrade, with 67% of users expressing their intent to take up 5G once it is available, an increase of 14 percentage points over 2019. 5G will account for roughly 39% of mobile subscriptions in India by the end of 2027, with around 500 million subscriptions.

Now, with ever-increasing digital connectivity, the demand for skilled manpower also rises. This also raises the latest job opportunities in the industry. However, 5G is at a different level. All the latest technology-based telecom employment is merely the tip of the iceberg. It is set to create opportunities in driverless cars, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), cloud computing, and smart gadgets under the Internet-of-Things and every next-generation wireless. Also, this is not the end! As 5G becomes more prevalent in India, more job openings will arise. With a slew of enterprises in India looking into various 5G use cases, recruiting could extend beyond traditional telecom end-users.
