The mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $83.23 billion in 2023 to $91.73 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including regulatory changes, consumer demand for cost-effective services, market saturation, intense competition, and shifting consumer preferences.
The mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $137.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the deployment and adoption of 5G technology, the emergence of IoT connectivity, diversification of service offerings, and the rise of non-traditional players in the market. Major trends expected in the forecast period include specialized niche offerings, enhanced value-added services, expansion of MVNO partnerships, a heightened focus on customer experience, regulatory changes, and market liberalization.
The advent of 5G networks is poised to drive the expansion of the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market in the foreseeable future. Representing the fifth generation of mobile network technology, 5G networks offer significantly faster data speeds, reduced latency, increased capacity, and enhanced support for connected devices compared to their predecessors, such as the 4G (LTE) standard. The emergence of 5G networks is primarily fueled by the escalating demand for higher data speeds, reduced latency, and expanded capacity to accommodate the ever-growing array of connected devices and emerging technologies. By utilizing mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), 5G networks can extend their market reach and facilitate the provision of innovative services without requiring substantial infrastructure investment. For example, in April 2023, global 5G wireless connections experienced a 76% growth from the end of 2021 to the end of 2022, reaching a total of 1.05 billion connections, as reported by 5G Americas, a US-based industry trade organization. Consequently, the proliferation of 5G networks stimulates the growth of the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market.
Key players in the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market concentrate on expanding their service coverage, intensifying competition in the wireless sector, and enhancing consumer choices in Canada.
