Asia-Pacific Wireless Services Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 12.49% through 2030F
The increasing Asia-Pacific wireless
services market is driven by rapid 5G Deployment and service diversification,
surge in mobile data consumption and digital content demand during the forecast
period 2026-2030F.
According to TechSci Research report, “Asia-Pacific Wireless Services
Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The
Asia-Pacific Wireless Services Market was valued at USD 411.41 Million in 2024
and is expected to reach USD 841.10 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.49%
during the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing accelerated
5G rollouts, with countries like South Korea, China, Japan, and Australia
leading deployment and commercialization. Operators are not only upgrading
infrastructure but also diversifying service offerings to tap new revenue
streams beyond traditional voice and data.
China leads globally with over 3.8
million 5G base stations as of Q1 2025, accounting for more than 50% of the
global total. Meanwhile, South Korea maintains one of the world’s highest 5G
adoption rates, with over 50% of mobile subscribers using 5G networks. In
Southeast Asia, nations such as Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines are
catching up with commercial 5G launches supported by government-backed digital
economy agendas.
Beyond faster speeds, 5G enables
low-latency applications like smart manufacturing, autonomous logistics,
connected health, and AR/VR entertainment. For instance, in Japan and
Singapore, telcos are testing 5G-powered robotic surgeries and immersive learning
experiences.
Furthermore, the shift toward private 5G
networks for enterprise and industrial use cases is emerging, especially in
logistics hubs, airports, and smart factories. Telecom providers are offering
5G-as-a-Service (5GaaS) solutions in partnership with cloud providers to meet
enterprise demand. However, service monetization remains a challenge, pushing
operators to bundle 5G with content platforms, gaming services, and edge
computing solutions to increase ARPU. As 5G coverage expands, operators are
expected to intensify their focus on customized business models,
industry-specific solutions, and differentiated consumer experiences to
maintain competitiveness.

Based on service type, Value-Added
Services (VAS) is the fastest growing segment in the Asia-Pacific Wireless
Services market during the forecast period, due to increasing consumer demand
for enhanced mobile experiences, as well as the strategic push from telecom
operators to diversify their service offerings beyond traditional voice and
data services.
One of the key drivers is the shift in consumer
preferences towards a wide range of personalized and digital services. With
more than 2.7 billion smartphone users in the region, Asia-Pacific has a large
base of consumers actively seeking additional features like mobile banking,
entertainment, e-commerce, cloud storage, and location-based services. These
services provide added value to consumers, enhancing their overall mobile
experience.
Telecom operators are increasingly leveraging VAS to differentiate
themselves in a highly competitive market, moving away from basic data and
voice plans towards bundled offerings. For instance, services such as mobile
financial services, gaming, streaming, and premium content access are seeing
widespread adoption. In countries like India and Indonesia, mobile payments and
digital wallets have become key drivers of VAS, especially with the rapid rise
of cashless transactions spurred by government initiatives.
Moreover, the integration of 5G and IoT is further
boosting the adoption of VAS. With 5G enabling faster speeds and lower latency,
services like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and real-time video
streaming are becoming more feasible and popular. The growing demand for smart
home and connected vehicle services is also spurring the growth of VAS, with
telecom operators offering IoT-based solutions that require robust, value-added
mobile services.
Additionally, the region’s youthful, tech-savvy
population is highly inclined towards consuming digital content, social media,
and gaming services, all of which are supported by VAS. This demographic trend
makes VAS an essential growth driver, fueling the segment’s rapid expansion in
the forecast period.
Based on country, India is the fastest
growing country in the Asia-Pacific Wireless Services Market during the
forecast period driven by a combination of rapid mobile network expansion, increasing
smartphone penetration, and a dynamic shift in consumer behavior toward
mobile-first services.
One of the major factors fueling this growth is the
country’s explosive rise in smartphone adoption. By 2024, India is projected to
have over 900 million mobile connections, with smartphones accounting for a
significant share. This widespread mobile penetration is creating a robust
demand for wireless services, as more consumers access the internet via mobile
devices for daily tasks, entertainment, and e-commerce.
India's 5G rollout is another pivotal driver. Telecom
operators, including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, are
heavily investing in 5G infrastructure, with plans to cover both urban and
rural areas. The government’s push to improve broadband connectivity under the
“Digital India” initiative has further accelerated this process. India is
expected to have over 500 million 5G subscribers by the end of the forecast
period, making 5G adoption a major contributor to market growth.
The shift toward digital services is another key
factor driving the wireless market. India’s digital economy, supported by an
expanding mobile payment ecosystem, online education, e-commerce, and OTT media
consumption, is fueling demand for higher-speed mobile data services. The
increasing popularity of mobile gaming, streaming, and social media is also
contributing to the demand for wireless services.
Furthermore, India’s growing middle-class population
is becoming more affluent and tech-savvy, resulting in higher spending on
mobile internet and data services. As India emerges as a leader in the global
digital transformation, its wireless services market is poised for rapid
growth, driven by infrastructure improvements, increased connectivity, and
evolving consumer needs.
