"The majority of telecoms service revenue in MENA will come from the mobile segment, but the main drivers behind telecoms revenue growth will be the high demand for fast fixed broadband access."

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will remain mobile-centric in the forecast period, however the mobile segment contribution to the overall sector revenue will decline. The service revenue generated by the mobile segment will account for 59% of the total telecoms revenue in the region, down from 64% in 2022.

This report and associated data annex provide:

  • a 5-year forecast of around 200 mobile and fixed KPIs for MENA as a whole and for 12 key countries
  • an in-depth analysis of the trends, drivers and forecast assumptions for each type of mobile and fixed service, and for key countries
  • an overview of operator strategies and country-specific topics, in order to highlight similarities and differences by means of a cross-country comparison
  • a summary of results and key implications for mobile and fixed operators.
