Singapore, July 24, 2025: The mobile technology sector in Asia Pacific has significantly boosted the regional economy, contributing $950 billion to the GDP in 2024. This accounts for 5.6% of the region’s total economic output, according to the latest Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2025 report released by GSMA at the Digital Nation Summit held in Singapore.
The report predicts that this contribution will rise to $1.4 trillion by 2030. This growth is driven by the rapid adoption of:
- 5G technology,
- the Internet of Things (IoT), and
- artificial intelligence,
which are accelerating digital transformation across Asia Pacific.
However, the report also warns of challenges ahead, including:
- the rise in scams, and
- increasing spectrum costs.
Despite these concerns, 5G is expected to encompass 50% of all mobile connections in the region by 2030, highlighting the sector’s crucial role in the future economy.
This expansion in mobile technologies is shaping the digital landscape, making the Asia Pacific mobile market one of the fastest-growing worldwide. Singapore continues to emerge as a key hub for mobile innovation and development in Asia.
