Nigeria: Intensifying Price Competition and Further Frequency Spectrum Acquisitions to Drive Telecom Market

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
MTN Nigeria is expected to maintain its market leading position in terms of total mobile subscriptions and revenue over the forecast period. However, the operator’s market share will progressively decline due to increasing competitive pressure from other operators following significant network expansion and upgrades and increased price competition. In 2020, Pyramid Research forecasts MTN Nigeria’s share in terms of total services revenue to reach 44.3% (from an estimated 50.1% in 2015) and a mobile subscriber share of 35.0% (from an estimated 41.2% in 2015). Pyramid Research forecasts 3G subscriptions to reach 81.3m or 38.6% of the mobile subscription base in 2020 owing to increased price competition for mobile data as a result of the recent removal of regulation on minimum prices for mobile data services. LTE subscriptions will reach 9.3m, or 4.4% of all mobile subscriptions in 2020, driven by operators’ focus on 4G launch as the NCC plans to auction spectrum allocations for 4G services in 2016. Fixed services revenue contribution to overall revenue is expected to remain marginal over the forecast period (expected to reach 9.9% in 2020, from an estimated 8.4% in 2015); this is due to challenges related to the lack of fixed broadband infrastructure and low demand by the consumer segment given cheaper mobile service substitutes.
