Get The ReportIn 2029, fewer than 0.35 million 6G-supported radios are expected to be deployed worldwide, according to ABI Research market data. And by 2034, around 7.2 million 6G radios will have been deployed. The Asia-Pacific region (4 million deployments by 2034) will likely see the first major global deployment of this new generation of radio equipment. North America (1.2 million deployments by 2034) and Europe (940K deployments by 2034) will also see significant deployments once telecom operators complete their own transition from 5G densification to 6G expansion.
6G deployments are forecast to start low, due to continuing standards work and early operator caution, with rapid growth after 2031 to 2032 as mobile operators complete their overall first phase of 6G deployments and more operators gain confidence for scaled rollouts.
