GSMA – The Mobile Economy Europe, 2025

The report by GSMA "The Mobile Economy Europe 2025" examines the impact of mobile technologies on Europe's economy and the critical role of 5G in future growth. Digital infrastructure has driven social and economic progress in Europe over the past three decades, with mobile technologies now contributing to around 5% of GDP. Nearly half a billion Europeans access the internet via 4G and 5G networks, with 5G expected to add significant economic value by 2030. However, Europe faces challenges in maintaining its digital economy leadership due to regulatory constraints. The report highlights the need for policy reforms to support network innovation and 5G advancements, including standalone and 5G-Advanced technologies. The GSMA Open Gateway initiative also shows promise in enhancing security and fraud prevention for mobile operators.
