Mobile Virtual Network Operator Market Growth & Trends

The growing demand to access mobile applications, social media, and multimedia services is further expected to propel the growth of mobile virtual network operators in the market during the forecast period. The declining prices of smartphones are contributing to the accelerating subscriber penetration across the globe. This is expected to fuel the growth of the MVNO. Furthermore, increasing partnerships formed by the key players for providing high-speed data services to consumers are anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Favorable government guidelines for MVNOs allow them to access the Single Wholesale Network (SWN) and the mobile operator networks and eliminate national roaming charges. This is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. The surging government initiatives, such as the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy, to remove copyright issues and geo-blocking concerns in addition to offer better network service access for consumers in Europe, are the factors expected to drive the market’s growth during the forecast period.

The presence of a large number of players in the market has led to increased competition among service providers. This has led companies to offer mobile services at cheaper rates, which is expected to strengthen the market growth. The MVNO model is considered cost-effective and time-efficient to enter the telecom market to benefit the customers. This is expected to provide potential opportunities for a new entrant in the market over the next eight years. Grand View Research
