From 2023 to 2030, the worldwide market for mobile virtual network operators is expected to expand from its 2022 valuation of USD 76.22 billion at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 9.7 percent.
The increasing acceptance of mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) can be ascribed to affordable plans, flexible options, no credit checks, wide device compatibility, and customized plans. There have been many mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations among the companies operating in the MVNO industry. For example, Spitfire Network Services Limited (a UK-based provider of fixed line voice, internet, and WAN services to business) announced a comprehensive MVNO arrangement with BT Wholesale (a UK-based telecom service provider) in July 2023. Through this collaboration, Spitfire's next-generation core network will be linked to BT Group's EE 4G and 5G Radio Access Network, allowing for increased safety, superior connection, and novel pricing options.
The rate of market expansion is anticipated to be driven by the increasing prevalence of mobile devices. By the end of 2021, GSMA predicts that 5.3 billion people, or around 67% of the world's population, will be mobile service subscribers. Most people in developing nations now have mobile phones, indicating future expansion will come from new subscribers, particularly among the young. About 70% of the world’s population, or 5.7 billion people, are predicted to be mobile phone customers by the end of the next five years. Most of these new users will come from Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
The mobile virtual network operators market is expected to expand in the coming years thanks to developments in technology such as machine-to-machine connections and cloud storage. It is predicted that mobile virtual network providers would increase income by providing more accessible and less expensive solutions in markets including entertainment, lifestyle, and productivity. Roaming services are just one of the many benefits that customers of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) enjoy while away from home. For instance, Lyca mobile provides low prices for international calls.
Sharing infrastructure is an attractive profit-maximizing strategy that can help both mobile virtual network operators and mobile network operators. Both MVNOs and MNOs stand to gain greatly from strategic partnerships that allow the former to leverage the latter's network infrastructure. By leveraging an existing, established network, MVNOs can drastically reduce their operational expenses while still providing their customers with a high quality service. At the same time, MNOs make the most of their infrastructure investments by monetizing unused network bandwidth. While allowing MVNOs to operate competitively and provide consumers with more affordable services, this sharing model can also encourage revenue development for MNOs.
Moreover, it fosters a collaborative ecosystem where both entities can explore additional opportunities for revenue generation, such as joint marketing efforts and the development of innovative service packages, ultimately driving profit maximization for both MVNOs and MNOs in an increasingly dynamic telecommunications landscape. However, MVNOs do not control the network infrastructure because of the significant cost of CAPEX involved. Instead, they choose for an agreement with MNOs to access MNO networks for certain geographies and time periods. In this way, startups and other businesses with fresh ideas can enter the market without incurring huge initial costs.
Mobile network operators' (MNOs) treatment of mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) customers as second-class citizens is a hotly debated topic in the telecommunications sector. In a tier-based quality of service model, mobile network operators (MNOs) prioritize their retail customers over MVNOs that use their networks. Customers of MVNOs are sometimes subject to slower data speeds and inferior call quality than those of MNOs, especially during times of network congestion and high traffic. The MNOs typically defend this sort of prioritizing by saying it's necessary to ensure a high level of service for their premium rate direct clients. Since MVNOs are simply reselling the MNOs' services to their client base, this may be seen as unfair treatment by MVNOs and their customers.
Frustrated MVNO customers, lower customer satisfaction, and possible churn from the MVNO's side are all possible outcomes of this strategy. Regulatory agencies in some locations have set laws and restrictions on MNOs, mandating that MVNO and MNO clients be treated equally with regard to network priority during congestion, to address this issue and maintain fairness. To ensure that mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) may offer competitive and dependable services to their consumers while also allowing mobile network operators (MNOs) to maintain network quality for all users, these regulations seek to promote a level playing field in the telecommunications sector. Finally, the controversy surrounding mobile network operators' (MNOs) giving their own customers priority over those of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) during peak network usage periods underscores the importance of regulatory monitoring in the telecommunications sector to guarantee equal treatment and high-quality service for all customers.
