Global Mobile Virtual Network OperatorMarket: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing adoption retail sector and Demand for Low-Cost Mobile Services

The average cost of a phone has decreased dramatically with rising economies of scale and technological advances in the cell phone manufacturing industry. This has resulted in a rise in worldwide cell phone usage, which means an increase in subscribers to the mobile network. MVNOs target a niche market to provide bundled to value-added low-cost services that include enhanced voice, video, mobile internet, mobile payment applications, and mobile TV, bringing down the competitive subscriber churn-out rate. These devices accelerate the growth of the demand for mobile virtual network operators.

Rapid Growth of Triple-Play Services in Developing Countries

Triple-play packages are bundled bundles of broadband internet access, television, and latency-sensitive telecommunications services provided by different service providers. In North America, the idea of triple-play services has been very popular. Telecom companies are gradually delivering triple-play services to consumers in the United States, so they can deliver better pricing and attract more customers. Triple-play services will likely be provided over the internet worldwide in a few years. Major tech firms are also designing applications in developing countries to provide such services. Cell phones are increasingly becoming a multi-feature gadget that expands its versatility beyond voice calls. Demand for package packs is therefore growing, which positively shapes the business outlook for MVNO in all regions.

Restrain

Moreover, the market for high revenue-generating voice and SMS segments is declining rapidly, further impacting the growth of the industry. However, increased operating costs associated with the deployment of affordable services and low-profit margins, and reduced tariffs are expected to hamper the growth of the MVNO market due to the existence of low-cost input by players.
