Huawei launched a Global Industry Vision (GIV) report containing predictions for technology and industry development up to 2025. GIV reports analyse industry development trends and serve as a strategic guide for ICT deployment. The Touching an Intelligent Future report follows on from the inaugural GIV report that was released in 2018.

Drawing from Huawei’s own quantitative data and real-world use cases of how intelligent technology is permeating every industry, this year’s report identifies 10 megatrends currently shaping how we live and work. The GIV also predicts technology trends for 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and smart assistants. By 2025, Huawei forecasts that:

Living with bots

Advances in material science, perceptual AI, and network technologies are powering the uptake of robotics in a variety of home and personal scenarios. GIV predicts a 14% global penetration rate for home robots.

Super sight

The convergence of 5G, virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR), machine learning, and other emerging technologies will let us see beyond distance, distortion, surfaces, and history. GIV predicts that 10% of companies will be using AR/VR.

Zero search

As data-driven and sensor-equipped appliances and devices begin anticipating our needs, information will find us without us needing to look for it. Future searches will be button-free, personal social networks will be created effortlessly, and industry will benefit from “zero-search maintenance”.  GIV predicts that 90% of smart device owners will use intelligent personal assistants.

Tailored streets

Intelligent transport systems will connect people, vehicles, and infrastructure, creating zero congestion, rapid emergency response, and other functions that will make life smoother. GIV predicts that 15% of vehicles will have cellular vehicle-to-everything technology.

Working with bots

Already transforming many industries, smart automation will take on more hazardous, repetitive, and high-precision tasks – a boon for safety and productivity. GIV predicts that there will be 103 robots in industry for every 10,000 employees.

Augmented creativity


Cloud AI will cut the cost and barrier of entry to scientific experimentation, innovation, and art. GIV predicts that 97% of large companies will have deployed AI.

Frictionless communication

AI and big data analytics will create seamless communication between companies and customers, and break down language barriers. Accuracy, understanding, and trust will underpin tomorrow’s communications. GIV predicts that enterprises will be able to fully use 86% of the data that they produce.

Symbiotic economy

Companies across the planet are adopting digital tech and smart applications on unified access platforms – that means greater collaboration, resource-sharing, stronger global ecosystems, and higher productivity. GIV predicts that every company everywhere will be using cloud technology and 85% of business applications will be cloud-based.

5G rollout

5G is here and it’s landing far faster than any previous wireless generation. GIV predicts that 58% of the world's population will have access to 5G.

Global digital governance

Advancements in digital tech must be balanced by shared data standards and principles for data use. GIV predicts that the annual volume of global data will reach 180 ZB. A ZB is equivalent to 1 trillion GB.

Huawei ICT Infrastructure CMO Kevin Zhang said, "Human exploration will never stop. We should set our sights beyond what we see now and look to the future, shifting from innovation to invention. We’re seeing rapid changes to life, work, and society as every industry adopts AI, 5G, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies.

"Huawei is committed to building digital platforms, user experiences, and intelligent technology that power ubiquitous connectivity in every scenario. It’s our mission to offer every person, home, and organisation an intelligent future and the benefits of entirely new opportunities for growth."
