Sub-Saharan Africa telecoms market: regional overview 2009
Analysys Mason Group, Sep 2009, Pages: 67+
In the midst of the economic downturn, sub-Saharan Africa stands out as one of the few regions that offer strong possibilities for growth in their telecoms industry – if operators can take advantage of the potential. As well as the growth in the total number of subscribers, the provision of m-payment services provides opportunities for established operators. Wireless broadband is becoming viable in an increasing number of countries as technologies mature and international connectivity becomes more affordable, thanks to an increase in the number of submarine cables reaching Africa’s coasts.
There are also opportunities for new investment in either existing operators or new licences. Two of the largest operators in the region, MTN and Zain, are currently the subject of numerous reports and much speculation on potential changes to their ownership. Meanwhile, a number of privatisations and spectrum licences offer opportunities in many countries across the region.
This report considers the impact that these major trends will have on operators in the region, which is essential information for not only operators, but also their vendors, financial backers and advisors. It analyses the likely impact of these industry-wide changes and identifies the key considerations in understanding these issues. Further, the report focuses on the region’s major operators, discussing their strategies, financial performance, major initiatives, and new products and services.
