Africa, Middle East to Lead Mobile Broadband Subscriber Growth by 2012

Africa and the Middle East will lead the world in terms of the percentage of mobile broadband subscriptions through 2012, according to a new report from Pyramid Research. Although Africa and the Middle East generated 10 percent of global mobile revenue in 2008, the region contributed only 3 percent of global mobile data revenue, notes Dearbhla McHenry, analyst at Pyramid Research and author of the report. However, the region will double its share of global mobile data revenue by 2014 due to its growing popularity of mobile broadband in the region, in rich and poor markets alike.  more

One Billion New Mobile Customers to Be Added Worldwide in the Next 3 Years

The global mobile market will go through unprecedented changes over the next few years, adding one billion new subscribers to the current 2.8 billion base over the next three years. But these next billion subscribers will come from very different markets, according to a new report by Pyramid Research. The report highlights several interesting conclusions:

  • Fully 87% of the next billion mobile subscribers will come from emerging economies
  • India, not China, will add the most new subscribers
  • While India and China are the largest markets in terms of growth, they represent only 35% of the next billion mobile users
  • Of the 30 fastest-growing markets, 10 are in Africa and the Middle East, and eight are in emerging Asia
  • Of the next billion subscribers, 71% will come from parts of the world with urbanization levels below 50%.
