"Revenue from mobile handset and broadband will continue to contribute the most to total telecoms revenue – it will account for 52% of the total revenue in 2027."
Operators’ investments in network expansions and LTE deployments will lead to an increase in mobile services take-up and revenue in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The fixed broadband segment will also develop during the forecast period, albeit from a much smaller base.
This report and associated data annex provide:
- a 5-year forecast of around 200 mobile and fixed KPIs for SSA, as a whole and for 10 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.
