Partner Perspectives Huawei 12/11/2020 Currently, over 100 carriers have launched their 5G service globally. It is now time to unleash the potential of 5G business value. But where is the north-star of 5G and how do we achieve business success? According to research from Keystone Analysis and Huawei, by 2025 carriers will have a total of 1,654bn USD worth of opportunities in the market. And it also reveals that 480bn USD comes from 5G connectivity and 370bn USD from 5G vertical services. This is an increase of 150% in revenue from 5G vertical connectivity. Over the last 12 months, there has been a strong shift towards enterprise market in most carriers, especially in verticals such as manufacturing, oil & gas, transportation etc. However, the challenges are the ability to offer tailor-made services in a timely, cost-effective, agile and scalable manner, to enable carriers to adopt new business models in tackling verticals.
