Total telecom and pay-TV service revenue in Uruguay will grow at a CAGR of 2.8%, primarily supported by the revenue contributions from the mobile data and fixed broadband segments. Mobile data service revenue will grow at a CAGR of 11%. This growth will be driven by increasing smartphone ownership, rising adoption of higher-ARPU 4G/5G services, and a shift in MNOs' focus toward the data segment to drive revenues.

With the Ongoing 4G/5G mobile network expansion by major operators to new areas of Uruguay will not only allow operators to increase their ARPU through premium data plans but also provide opportunities for mobile equipment and wireless network infrastructure vendors. Furthermore, the continued efforts by state-owned Antel to expand the fiber-optics network, decommission copper based infrastructure, and gain the government's support for fiber network expansion in regions with less than 3,000 residents by 2025 will improve broadband connectivity in the country and create opportunities for fixed network infrastructure and equipment vendors.
