"About 40 percent of these revenue projections are attributed to consumer spending on enhanced video, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and cloud gaming over 5G networks," it said.

The report said that AR is likely to drive over half of all consumer spending on immersive media by 2030 – starting with gaming and extending to areas such as shopping, education and remote collaboration.

It also highlighted how the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on personal finances and financial priorities may have affected consumers' willingness to pay a premium for 5G subscriptions.

"In early 2019, the average consumer was willing to pay a 20 percent premium for 5G. As 2020 draws to an end, that figure has dropped to 10 percent," it said.

Still, one in three early adopters globally are still willing to pay a 20 percent premium.

"This could boost consumer revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7 percent compared to flat revenue growth of 0.03 percent by taking a passive approach across the decade," it said. PTI MBI SHW SHW
