Ericsson’s year-on-year sales collapse in emerging markets

State-owned operator Vietnam signed up Ericsson to build out its 5G RAN across the majority of provinces in Vietnam.

Global shipments of cellular IoT modules grew 16% year-on-year in Q1 2025, largely fuelled by strong demand in India, China, and Latin America, according to Counterpoint Research.

Ericsson says it has marked a major step forward in its India-based operations with the release of its first antenna model manufactured in India for global export.
