By implementing 5G, technologies ranging from AI, AR, and VR can be completely developed because these technologies necessitate substantially higher processing power to handle the continuous streaming of large amounts of data. 5G networks would lead to advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, which has been used across many industries in Germany due to its Industry 4.0 and driving the Telecom market in the country.

• The COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns in Germany which increased the demand for data services owing to the increasing growth in data consumption and voice services primarily attributed to the work-from-home conditions, growth in downloading, video conference communication, online gaming, among others, thus positively impacting the demand for data services from the mobile operators in the country.
