Google announced a while ago that mobile indexing it will slowly become it's main "index" meaning mobile will have priority over the desktop index in ranks as more and more people are using their smartphone for their searches rather than desktops or laptops.
You can read Google's full official notice here: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/...st-indexing.html
It basically says everyone needs to pay more attention to implementing Structure Data as well as adding your mobile version of your website as a different entity in the Google Search Console which I didn't know about and frankly I'm kind of caught off guard.
Slowly but shortly Google will eventually rank every website from a mobile point of view, so if you website is not yet mobile friendly than I'm pretty sure you can kiss you current ranks goodbye as mobile will become the norm as well as the main and only factor Google will rely on when ranking websites for mobile and desktop versions.
Even with all of these Google still says that if you don't have a mobile version at all they will have to rely on your desktop version for to rank you accordingly but my guess is you will miss every good rank from a mobile point of view and in essence you will only get decent rank when people search your website from a desktop or laptop.
What do you need to do to be ready for this new huge change Google's doing:

I remember looking at my percentage of mobile users about four years ago thinking that was high.... and it was only on 20 or 30%.
Over the last 4 years that has now increased to about 65 or 70% mobile users. It will be interesting to see the statistics at the end of 2017.
Anyway the point being if most of the internet users are using mobile it only makes sense for the search engines to make that a main consideration. I think that this really was inevitable. I have been watching my Google Analytics reports for a while now and it is amazing to see how the mobile users are increasing all the time. The majority of my website visitors are mobile already and this number is just going to increase all the time.
