In 2021, mobile technologies and services generated 5% of global GDP, a contribution that amounted to $4.5 trillion of economic value-added. The mobile ecosystem also supported approximately 26 million jobs (directly and indirectly) and made a substantial contribution to the funding of the public sector, with almost $500 billion raised through taxes on the sector.
