They must either increase their network (opens in new tab) density to meet traffic demand and/or accept a degree of quality degradation in the performance experienced by users. Whenever mobile traffic demand exceeds capacity and spectrum availability is constrained, mobile operators generally face two choices. Spectrum adds to mobile network capacity – for a given number of users more spectrum means faster speeds. Global 5G benefits in 2030 could decrease from 0.68% of GDP to 0.42% of GDP (less than $600 billion) if spectrum is constrained.

To counter-balance this, we also looked at a scenario where mid-band spectrum is constrained to current levels.ĥG relies on mid-band spectrum to realize its full potential and we found that the global economy could lose up to 40% of the expected 5G benefits if no additional mid-band spectrum is allocated to mobile services.
Our analysis primarily studied the overall benefits that mid-band 5G spectrum can provide with sufficient spectrum assignment in mid-bands. Spectrum constraints and economic ramifications
This will help reduce the impact of investing in a new wave of services, in turn widening their availability and quality. Operators need to know what access they are going to get to spectrum resources in order to plan their networks as efficiently as possible. Timely access to the spectrum, based on a clear long-term roadmap, is vital. The report finds that globally, mid-band 5G could deliver $610 billion GDP growth in 2030 – or 65% of total 5G benefits while 5G, in its entirety, is expected to yield $960 billion in additional GDP value add to the global economy – approximately 0.70% of forecast global GDP, in 2030.
