The top three 5G countries in terms of percent of devices and connections share on 5G will be China (20.7%), Japan
(20.6%), and United Kingdom (19.5%), by 2023.
The phenomenal growth in mobile end-user devices and M2M connections is a clear indicator of the growth of mobile
IoT, which is bringing together people, processes, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant
and valuable.
Globally, mobile M2M connections will grow from 1.2 billion in 2018 to 4.4 billion by 2023, a 30 percent CAGR—a
four-fold growth. (Figure 9).

By 2023, Asia Pacific will have the highest share of global public Wi-Fi hotspots at 46 percent. Public Wi-Fi along
with community hotspots are included in the forecast. Community hotspots or homespots have emerged as a
potentially significant element of the public Wi-Fi landscape. In this model, subscribers allow part of the capacity of
their residential gateway to be open to casual use. The homespots may be provided by a broadband or other provider
directly or through a partner. Asia Pacific will lead in adoption of homespots. By 2023, China will lead in total number
of homespots, followed by the United States and Japan.
