Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market Overview:

With the enablement of better services and cheaper headsets in the European market, there was a massive demand for cellular phones in the past years. This gave rise to the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), a cost-effective model for the companies. Over a decade ago, Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) was originally introduced in Europe and has presently become a captivating fixture in the telecom industry across the world. According to the GSMA, MVNO is a phenomenon saturated in around one-third of the countries. Further, barring the international MVNOs, the two-thirds of the domestic MVNOs include 585 MVNOs in Europe, 129 MVNOs in Asia-Pacific, 107 in North America, and remaining 7% in LAMEA in 2014. At the end of 2014, there existed over 992 MVNOs along with 260 MNO-based sub-brands in the global market. The global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) market was valued at $51,857 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $102,932 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2017 to 2023.

The mobile virtual network operator market is widely driven by improved service capabilities, increasing opportunities for mobile operators, and administrative support benefits. However, factors such as low profit margins & reduced tariffs restrain the MVNO market growth.
