Market Definition
The data roaming market refers to the industry that provides mobile users with the ability to access data services while traveling internationally. It encompasses the infrastructure and services that enable seamless data connectivity for smartphones and other devices outside their home network. This market involves agreements between telecommunications operators worldwide, allowing users to access the internet, send messages, and use apps while abroad. It plays a crucial role in facilitating international communication and connectivity for individuals and businesses, contributing to the global integration of telecommunications services across borders. The market is influenced by factors such as technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and consumer demand for reliable international data services.
Global Data Roaming Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing Demand for Mobile Devices
The ability to roam allows users to use their mobile devices in areas where their home network operators do not offer coverage. The additional fees that roamers incur when they connect to a foreign network are known as roaming tariffs. Various roaming services, including SMS, data, and voice, are paid extra fees. The market for roaming tariffs is expected to grow due to several factors. Some of the factors anticipated to favorably affect the growth of the roaming tariff market over the forecast period include the increasing number of mobile phone users, the popularity of 3G and 4G-enabled smartphones, the rise in the number of unique subscribers, and the penetration of mobile internet.
- Increasing Technological Advancements
Technological advancements such as M2M and cloud are projected to drive the growth for the mobile virtual network operators market during the forecast period. Mobile virtual network operators are anticipated to offer convenient mobility and cheaper options for industries such as entertainment, lifestyle and productivity to upsurge revenue generation. Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) also offers numerous features by offering roaming services to their customers while traveling. For instance, Lyca mobile delivers inexpensive international calling rates to their users.
Opportunity
- Fifth-Generation Roaming
Since 5G is expected to provide low latency and global coverage, it is becoming increasingly popular among mobile network operators. By ensuring improved digitization and a connected environment, 5G roaming is predicted to transform the telecom industry and boost economic growth. In addition to the telecommunications industry, 5G is anticipated to positively impact several other industries, including logistics, smart cities, public safety, and smart agriculture. Many businesses are working to modernize digital security and provide effective mobile security solutions. Numerous operators benefit from the growing consumer demand for the roaming feature. Multiple connected solutions providers are inclined to introduce innovative solutions to reduce the gap between mobile operators and their customers to benefit mobile operators and satisfy consumer demand for improved network solutions while roaming.
Restraint/Challenge
- Issues Associated with Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market
Lack of technological expertise and skilled workforce in developing and underdeveloped economies will act as a restraint for the market growth. Also, low service quality and decreasing profit margins and prioritization will yet again obstruct the market growth rate. Furthermore, lack of strong infrastructural facilities and lack of readiness of MNOs in the backward economies will also derail the growth rate of the market.
Recent Development
- In 2022, PeP has acquired Simapka to increase mobile services in Poland. This acquisition would help in emerging an ecosystem where a diversity of additional services would boost the payments. The major aim of this acquisition is to ensure that the retail outlets gain benefit from the sturdy digitization of payments through Simapka’s mobile application throughout Europe
- In 2022, Cricket Wireless LLC announced their collaboration with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). This agreement enables Cricket to offer unique experiences to SIAC fans at all Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCUs) member schools
