What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Mobile Virtual Network Operator MVNO Market?
The advent of 5G network technology is forecasted to significantly enhance the expansion of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) market. Representing the fifth iteration of mobile network technology, following its predecessor the 4G (LTE) standard, 5G networks assure remarkably elevated data speeds, reduced latency, heightened capacity, and support for a growing number of connected devices, in comparison to older network generations. The rise of 5G primarily stems from escalating demands for greater data speeds, lower latency, and elevated capacity to accommodate the ever-increasing number of connected devices and emergent technologies. The utilization of MVNOs by 5G networks broadens their market influence and encourages the introduction of creative services, exploiting existing infrastructure and allowing the MVNOs to benefit from the high-speed, low-latency features of 5G technology without the need for extensive infrastructure investments. For example, data from 5G Americas, a US-based trade body, state that as of April 2023, global 5G wireless connections had increased by 76% from the end of 2021 to the end of 2022, culminating in 1.05 billion connections in total. Thus, the introduction of 5G networks is a core driver of growth in the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) market.
