In terms of revenue from sales of 5G NR equipment, Huawei is also in the lead; but ZTE is inferior to Ericsson. At the same time, the Chinese company showed an impressive growth in market share from 5.8% in the first quarter of 2020 to 16.4% this year.

The report states that in terms of network deployment, the Asia-Pacific region is significantly ahead of North America; as well as the Middle East, Europe and Africa. As of the first quarter of 2021, China had built 819,000 5G base stations; accounting for over 70% of all base stations installed worldwide.
