The number of mobile cellular subscriptions in the US is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 (114.74 subscriptions per hundred persons) to 2028 (123.08 subscriptions per hundred persons). This indicates a consistent upward trend. The actual subscriptions in 2023 stood at an unspecified value, but given the steady growth forecast, we can infer a positive trend.
The year-on-year variation shows a predictable increase:
- 2025: +1.9%
- 2026: +1.8%
- 2027: +1.7%
- 2028: +1.6%
Over the last two years, the average year-on-year increase has been around 1.75%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the next five years is projected to be approximately 1.75% annually.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of 5G adoption, the rise of connected devices in the IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem, and the potential market saturation as the number of subscriptions approaches the maximum possible per hundred persons.
