Our newspaper, Beijing, November 30 (Reporter Han Xin) China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute recently released the "5G Industry Development White Paper (2020)."

The "White Paper" shows that in 2019, the scale of my country's 5G communications industry reached 225 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 133.2%.

  As my country's 5G infrastructure construction is fully rolled out and the 5G commercial process continues to accelerate, the scale of the industry will continue to expand.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the total number of 5G base stations in my country is expected to exceed 600,000 by the end of 2020. According to this calculation, the scale of my country's 5G communications industry will reach 503.6 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 128%, achieving leapfrog development.

  The "White Paper" predicts that by 2030, the number of 5G base stations in my country will reach 15 million, the cumulative direct investment in 5G infrastructure will reach 4 trillion yuan, and the cumulative GDP driven by 5G infrastructure construction will reach 1.7 trillion yuan.

As 5G communication has a significant multiplier effect, it is expected that by 2030, the GDP driven by the 5G industry will reach 5 trillion yuan, and will deeply empower the development of manufacturing, transportation, finance and other fields.

In addition, the integration and development of 5G and the Industrial Internet will become an important trend in the development of the 5G industry, and the penetration rate of 5G smart terminals will also increase year by year.

The next step should be to strengthen the construction of 5G network supporting facilities, start to solve the problem of 5G base station energy consumption, continue to explore new business models, and help the rapid development of the 5G industry.
