The impressive jumps are attributed to the better business performance of Huawei. In the first three quarters of this year, Huawei achieved a growth rate of 24.4 per cent and a turnover of about $85.675 billion. The company has signed more than 60 5G commercial contracts with the world's leading carriers and shipped more than 400,000 5G base stations around the world, maintaining the No.1 5G market share.

5G will bring mobile to a new level," said Michael MacDonald, chief digital officer of Huawei Southeast Asia. “Studies show that by 2025, the number of people using 5G technology will reach 1.57 billion, and 5G will contribute $289 billion to the global GDP by 2025.”
