By Operational Mode, the service operator segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Service operators have their own infrastructure, which enables them to have complete control over their business and service offerings. The degree of control and flexibility an MVNO has will depend on which operating elements it controls. However, host operators may impose some restrictions on MVNOs in the retail environment.

Service operator is one of the most popular models for new entrants. It enables MVNOs to start with a select set of operating elements and develop their own operations gradually. After their proposition has been proven and they have gained a considerable number of customers, MVNOs take over the operations of their host MNOs. The service operator model suits and helps businesses with brands or service concepts differentiate themselves from existing players.

By Subscriber, the consumer segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period

MVNO is a consumer-driven market, with more than 80% of the market covered by consumer-based vendors. The consumer is projected to be the dominant segment during the forecast period due to the availability of MVNOs that provide customer-centric offerings, such as affordable data & voice plans and the latest technologies.

Currently, MVNOs are attracting more customers due to higher brand loyalty than new mobile entrants. These MVNOs provide unique services to their customers to differentiate themselves from traditional operators. The areas of differentiation include tariff flexibility, high-quality customer services, unique distribution models, bundling with fixed services, and access to unique content (music, games, and videos) and services.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The MVNO market in the Asia Pacific region has undergone significant transformation in recent years. Asia Pacific has always been an emerging region for the telecom industry. The region's diversified geographic area and high customer base creates huge opportunities for MVNOs. As per the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), APAC has emerged as the largest marketplace for the telecom industry across the globe.

China and India are the world's largest marketplaces for the telecom industry in terms of network infrastructure capacity and end-user subscribers. In terms of mobile subscriber base, the region holds the greatest number of consumers as compared to other regions and will remain one of the fastest-growing markets by 2024 and beyond.
