South Africa Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report: Mobile Data Revenue Set to Increase at a Five-Year CAGR of 7.8% – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “South Africa Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.


The total telecom and pay-TV service revenue in South Africa will grow at a CAGR of 2.2%, during 2023-2028 period, primarily driven by revenue growth in fixed broadband and mobile data segments. Mobile data revenue will increase at a five-year CAGR of 7.8%.

This growth will be driven by the expansion of mobile subscriber base, growing 4G subscriptions, projected growth in 5G service adoption, increasing mobile internet subscriptions, and increasing in mobile data ARPU over the forecast period. Fixed broadband service revenue will also increase during 2023- 2028, supported by robust growth in FTTH subscriptions and strong growth in fixed wireless lines. Pay-TV service revenue in South Africa will decline marginally during 2023-2028 due to a decline in DTH ARPU.
