#Alternative Data Market Opportunity Drivers: What’s Unlocking New Revenue Potential?#_x000D_
The rising integration of 5G networks is anticipated to propel the alternative data market throughout the forecast period. These networks will accelerate the adoption of alternative data applications and services, enabling the creation of new use cases. 5G’s enhanced bandwidth facilitates the transmission of greater data volumes within a specified timeframe, while its reduced latency ensures quicker data delivery. Furthermore, the expanded coverage provided by these networks supports diverse network topologies, allowing for effortless communication of alternative data. Moreover, 5G is set to generate a surge in data traffic, stemming not only from smartphones but also from Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled devices. As an illustration, figures from May 2024, released by Ericsson, a Sweden-based networking and telecommunications company, highlight the global acceleration in 5G network adoption. Around 300 networks have been deployed, and 5G population coverage outside mainland China achieved approximately 40% by the conclusion of 2023, with projections indicating a rise to 80% by 2029. This growth consequently fuels the demand for alternative data._x000D_
