It will grow from $216.15 billion in 2023 to $223.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the emergence of digital cellular networks, the introduction of GSM standards, the expansion of coverage areas, the rise of mobile data services, and the introduction of prepaid services.
The cellular or mobile telephone services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $273.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.

The proliferation of social media platform users is expected to be a driving force in the cellular or mobile telephone services market.
