Top 10 global 5G markets
China took sixth place in the top 10 5G markets in the world, with South Korea ranking first for 5G deployment, followed by Switzerland and Kuwait at second and third according to Omedia's Global 5G Progress Update released earlier this year.
The findings assessed the deployment progress of 5G based on operator launches, network coverage, subscriptions and 5G spectrum availability, as well as the regulatory ecosystem in 22 countries across the globe.
South Korea has established itself as the early market leader for 5G technology, with adoption reaching 5.88 million users by the end of March this year, accounting for nearly 10 percent of the wireless services market.
Over 400 cities and towns in Switzerland have at least 80 percent 5G connectivity, and the number had expanded to 535 localities by May, according to Omedia.
In China, as more than 500,000 5G stations has been deployed, 5G users exceeded 130 million by the end of September, said Liu Honglie, the vice-minister at China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at the China Internet Media Forum in Shanghai.
