Rising Digital Transformation Across SME’s Boosts Asia Pacific 2G & 3G Switch Off Market

According to research by the industry association Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), small and medium-sized (SMEs) firms have been adopting digital technology for various purposes. Specifically, 60% of SMEs use it for human resources, 51% for sales and marketing, and 48% for finance. The study also showed that the most popular digital tools used by SMEs were accounting software (Tally, Vyapar, Busy, etc.) and business apps such as ERP and CRM. Thus, several manufacturers across the globe are adopting digital transformation. Numerous production enterprises in the Chinese city of Foshan are transforming their businesses using 5G, the cloud, and other digital technologies. Midea, Huawei, and China Unicom Guangdong are cooperating to give these small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) the 5G connection and IT infrastructure required to increase efficiency and production significantly.

The implementation of Foshan City’s action plan for digital transformation and upgrading the Foshan manufacturing industry, launched in July 2021, is made possible by Unicom Guangdong’s 5G, cloud, and MEC infrastructure. According to the plan, Foshan will fund the digital transformation of industrial businesses with an investment of 10 billion yuan (US$ 1.48 billion) over the next three years. To accelerate the digital transformation of 3,000 manufacturing businesses, Foshan plans to construct “50 digital benchmark factories” and “100 digital benchmark workshops” by the end of 2023. Thus, such rising digital transformation across SMEs creates opportunities for using higher networks and switching off the 2G and 3G networks.

Asia Pacific 2G & 3G Switch Off Market Overview

The Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market is segmented into Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. According to the ISG, a global technology research and IT advisory firm, 29 operators in Asia Pacific are estimated to sunset their 2G/3G networks by 2025. India plans to sunset 2G by the end of 2023. Vodafone will sunset its 2G in 2022, while Japan declared a nationwide 2G sunset in 2012. Moreover, several regional operators are switching off the 2G and 3G networks. For instance, as of February 2021, Vodafone Idea Ltd (VIL), the telecom operator providing services under the “Vi” brand, completely shut down 3G services across all its circles in India by the financial year 2022 and move over to 4G. The network operator is ready to provide 5G.

As of January 2024, Japanese telco SoftBank Corp. announced that it would shut down its 3G network. The company has told its customers who are using 3G handsets and price plans that from February 1, 2024, they will be unable to use its communication services, and it has even warned that it will automatically cancel 3G plans. Also, as of February 2023, the Australian network provider Telstra confirms the switch off of the 3G network after June 2024. The signal for the same will be turned off, making many devices and systems redundant. Thus, several shutdowns of 2G and 3G networks in the region will lower the market share of 2G and 3G networks.

At -29.4% CAGR, Asia Pacific 2G & 3G Switch Off Market is Speculated to be Worth US$ 114.50 Million by 2030, says the Research Team

According to the Research Team’ research, the Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market was valued at US$ 3,717.24 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 114.50 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of -29.4% from 2020 to 2030. Growing demand for smart cities and rising digital transformation across SME’s are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market growth.

Smart cities are metropolitan areas that improve citizens’ infrastructure, services, and quality of life by utilizing IoT devices and cutting-edge technologies. Smart city solutions include energy-efficient buildings, intelligent transportation systems, and smart grids. In smart cities, high-speed networks such as 4G and 5G play an important role in linking millions of devices-including sensors, lighting, and traffic lights-to a network, improving resource management, easing traffic congestion, and enhancing public safety. Governments across the globe are emphasizing the adoption of smart infrastructure and smart city initiatives, such as Internet of Vehicles. For instance, as of 2018, in China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued administrative regulations on using 5905-5925 MHz Spectrum for Direct Connected Communication on the Internet of Vehicles, which allocated the dedicated spectrum for LTE-V2X direct communication. In 2020, eleven ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Information and Technology (MllT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), jointly issued the Intelligent Vehicles Innovation Development Strategy, which progressed the deployment of intelligent transport systems, as well as Smart City-related facilities. Existing cellular networks does offer a wide variety of tools that address business requirements. However, Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) and its evolution to 5G V2X will foster synergies between the automotive industry and other verticals moving towards 5G. Its extreme throughput, low latency, and enhanced reliability will allow vehicles to share rich, real-time data, supporting autonomous and connected driving experiences. For example, LTE Cat-M and Narrow Internet of Things (NB-IoT) are excellent low-power sensor communication technologies. In order to determine and recommend individual actions to enable complex vehicle maneuvering, e.g., deceleration, lane changes, route modifications, or acceleration, the vehicles must be able to receive and share information about their driving intentions in real-time. This low-latency demand can be fulfilled with the development of an overall 5G system architecture to provide optimized end-to-end vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity. With smart cities, such an architecture is easier to accomplish, and a greater amount of data can be utilized by the vehicle for making decisions. Hence, there is a strong push for smart cities and 5G networks.

According to the report of the European Commission, by 2025, the number of connected devices across the globe is likely to reach 75 billion. Smart infrastructure and smart city initiatives require high-speed networks for real-time data collection from sensors and smart city IoT devices. The increasing number of interconnected objects creates an extraordinary volume of data that the city can evaluate in order to make more informed decisions about the changes that can widely benefit locals. 5G technology has various traits that will positively impact smart cities and digital experiences; a higher speed of uploading and downloading data guarantees the ability to connect multiple devices while maintaining very short latency times. The growing smart infrastructure or smart city initiative propels the demand for high-speed networks such as 4G and 5G, thereby driving the 2G & 3G switch off market.

On the contrary, prevalent use of 2G and 3G in some application areas hampers the growth of Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market.

Based on type, the Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market is bifurcated into 2G and 3G. The 3G segment held 72.5% market share in 2020, amassing US$ 2,696.39 million. It is projected to garner US$ 101.58 million by 2030 to register -28.0% CAGR during 2020-2030.

In terms of application, the Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market is segmented into message, voice, data, and IoT. The data segment held 36.8% share of Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market in 2020, amassing US$ 1,368.45 million. It is anticipated to garner US$ 44.11 million by 2030 to register -29.1% CAGR during 2020-2030.

Based on country, the Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market is categorized into Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. Our regional analysis states that China captured -54.6% share of Asia Pacific 2G & 3G switch off market in 2022.
