In short

India’s daily use of multimodal AI is expected to almost double to 43% by 2030 from 22% now, according to an Ericsson ConsumerLab report. The global estimate is 30%, up from 10% now.

The report says people are using AI more often across devices and places. That could mean more demand on mobile networks, but the source does not give the survey size or explain why the shift is happening.

What the reporting says

India's daily multimodal AI use is projected to rise to 43% by 2030 from 22% now, according to an Ericsson ConsumerLab report based on a survey. The report says the global figure is seen at 30%, up from 10% now, and defines multimodal AI as text, voice, images and video. It suggests more frequent use across devices and locations, which could increase demand on mobile networks, while the reporting does not state the survey size or exact timing.

Why it matters

The Ericsson ConsumerLab report says daily multimodal AI use in India could reach 43% by 2030, compared with 22% now. It also puts the global estimate at 30%, up from 10%. The report links the shift to heavier use across devices and locations, which may raise demand on mobile networks. The reporting does not provide the survey size or any detailed methodology.
