Taiwan’s mobile service revenue projected at $6.2b by 2030
This is due to an increase in 5G subscriptions.
Taiwan’s total mobile service revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1% to $6.2b in 2030 from $5.9b in 2025, according to GlobalData.
This is mainly supported by an increase in 5G subscriptions and the rising adoption of mobile data services.
Taiwan Mobile Broadband Forecast (Q2 2025) reveals that mobile voice service revenue will decline at a CAGR of 10% between 2025 and 2030 due to the falling voice average revenue per user (ARPU) levels resulting from the growing user preference for OTT/Internet-based communication platforms.
Mobile data service revenue, on the other hand, will increase at a CAGR of 3.2% over the same period, driven by the projected rise in the adoption of higher ARPU-5G services.
“The average monthly mobile data usage is expected to increase from 36.4 GB in 2025 to about 44.0 GB in 2030, driven by the growing consumption of high-bandwidth online entertainment and social media content over smartphones,” said Kantipudi Pradeepthi, telecom analyst at GlobalData.
5G subscriptions hold the most share of total mobile subscriptions in 2025 and go on to account for over 95% of the total mobile subscriptions share in 2030, mainly due to the increasing availability and adoption of 5G-enabled smartphones and the ongoing 5G network expansions by operators.
For instance, Chunghwa Telecom and Taiwan Mobile have signed deals with Nokia in October and November 2024, respectively, to expand 5G services in the country.
