With more than 61 million subscribers, Nigeria has now surpassed South Africa as the largest mobile telecom market in Africa, and continued growth over the next five years is expected to trigger more intense competition among a growing number of network operators, according to the latest report from Pyramid Research.
Communications Markets in Nigeria offers a complete analysis of the country's converged telecommunications, media, and technology sectors based on exclusive and proprietary data from Pyramid's research in the Nigerian market. The 28-page report provides detailed competitive analysis of both the fixed and mobile sectors, tracks the market shares of technologies and services, and monitors the introduction and spread of new technologies such as WiMax, IPTV, and VoIP. The study offers a detailed forecast of the Nigerian communications market by analyzing key trends, evaluating near-term opportunities and assessing upcoming risks factors.
The Nigerian telecom market grew by 23 percent (in US dollar value) in 2008, generating $8.4 billion in overall telecom service revenue, notes Yejide Onabule, analyst at Pyramid Research and author of the report. "With mobile subscriber penetration at just 42 percent, Nigeria's total telecom revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 5.7 percent from US$8.42 billion in 2008 to $11.14 billion in 2013," Onabule says.
Since liberalization of the market in 2003, Nigeria's telecom industry has experienced exceptional growth rates, which is attracting new operators. "The bulk of service revenue will continue to come from mobile, which will generate 83 percent of total service revenue over the next five years," Onabule adds.
"Suppliers of mobile network technologies are likely to benefit from more aggressive rollouts of mobile voice and data services," he notes, "adding that demand for CDMA and GSM base stations is expected to remain strong over the next several years."
