The study highlights Europe's 5G deployment progress as of Q2 2025, showing that timely spectrum allocation and proactive policies are crucial in defining coverage leaders. Nordic and Southern European countries lead in 5G availability, bolstered by recent 700 MHz band deployments. In contrast, Central and Western countries lag significantly. The mobile data traffic growth is slowing, with European operators adopting new technologies like 5G SA cautiously due to low average revenue per user growth challenging expansions. The study underscores the regional gaps in achieving the EU's 2030 Digital Decade 5G goals.
Europe's 5G coverage leaders are defined by timely spectrum allocation and proactive policies, with notable regional disparities influencing deployment progress and network health.
In Q2 2025, Nordic and Southern European countries continued to lead in 5G availability due to successful 700 MHz band deployments, achieving significant coverage gains.
Despite growing mobile data traffic, European operators remain cautious in technology adoption due to challenging conditions, with sluggish average revenue per user hindering progress.
Analysis reveals that capitals must prioritize network expansion and complete low- and mid-band spectrum auctions to enhance 5G deployment objectives set for 2030.
