Mobile Broadband Witnessing Exponential Growth in
Africa Telecom Industry
2

• Unlike the Americas or Europe, mobile voice/data
  sector has captured the major chunk of telecom
  market in Africa. This shift in consumer
  preference is attributed to the poor state of
  fixed-line infrastructure.
• In addition to mobile voice, the use of mobile
  broadband and data traffic is also witnessing
  rapid growth. By 2020, the overall mobile
  internet traffic across Africa is projected to
  increase 20-fold, almost doubling the current
  mobile data revenue.
• Ken Research announced its latest publication on,
  Africa - Mobile Voice And Mobile Broadband
  Statistics (Tables Only),which provides a
  detailed statistical overview of the African
  telecom industry. In order to clearly project the
  market penetration of mobile voice and data
  providers, the publication makes use of figures
  collected from various nations across Africa such
  as Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, BeMobile
  (BTC), Burkin Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Nigeria,
  Senegal and many others. Furthermore, the
  publication also includes the regional overview
  of Africas telecomm industry along with
  comparisons of mobile players reach in each
  region. Africas telecom industry is currently
  undergoing a major shift with an increasing
  number of consumers preferring mobile call/data
  services over the traditional fixed-line ones.
  The mobile players have proactively captured this
  new trend and penetrated into many of Africas
  urban and semi-urban regions where fixed-line
  telecom service providers could not reach. The
  factors which have created a conducive
  environment for mobile players to spread include
  the growing target population, positive customer
  reaction and the need to make lower investment
  when compared to fixed-line infrastructure.

• This shift in trends in the African telecom
  industry has not gone unnoticed by international
  telecom giants. Though there are a large number
  of domestic players in the industry,
  multi-national operators like Orange, Bharti
  Airtel, MTN and Millicom have already entered the
  market and used their competitive advantage to
  achieve significant market penetration.
• Although there are many regions in Africa which
  are yet to be penetrated by mobile players, the
  number of mobile data users is projected to
  witness an exponential growth. Driven by spread
  and development of technical expertise and
  m-commerce infrastructure, almost three-quarters
  of all mobile connections in Africa are expected
  to be on either LTE or 3G. As per the statistics,
  the mobile operators preferred LTE as they were
  able to make productive use of spectrum freed
  from the switch to digital TV, thereby improving
  efficiency and lowering investment. With all
  these new developments taking place, forecasts
  have suggested that mobile traffic across Africa
  might increase 20-fold by 2020, almost doubling
  the mobile data revenues.
• Global Telecom Industry
• The global telecom will continue its past record
  of growth, disruption and innovation. As mobile
  devices and related broadband services are
  increasingly becoming an essential aspect of the
  society today, they are also playing a crucial
  role in driving momentum in telecom industry. The
  telecom operators worldwide are now on a lookout
  for opportunities for increasing their revenue
  through core value propositions such as sale of
  network devices and better network connectivity.
