Capex
Cumulative capital expenditure or Capex of telecom operators in Europe will be €175 billion during 2024-2030. Mobile operators are increasingly focusing on 5G standalone networks to unlock new opportunities.
European mobile operators have invested over €160 billion in mobile capex over the
past five years, much of which has been spent on 5G networks. Mobile capex/revenue in the region was 16 percent at the end of 2023, likely marking the peak of the 5G investment cycle. However, mobile Capex is still projected to surpass €25 billion in
each year to 2030.
As legacy networks phase out, 2G and 3G accounted for less than 10 percent of mobile connections by 2024, with Europe witnessing 44 network sunsets by Q3 2024, about one-third of global sunsets. More than half of the planned network sunsets for 2025 are expected in Europe, enabling spectrum repurposing for 4G and 5G while enhancing energy efficiency.
Europe has played a leading role in the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, with 67 operator groups representing 75 percent of global mobile connections. In Europe, operators have prioritized API launches for fraud prevention and security, with use cases like SIM Swap and Number Verification APIs.
