The Middle East & Africa are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 4.5% during the forecast period (2016-2020).

The Americas were the largest market in wireless telecom services in 2016, accounting for around 34% market share.

'Fifth-Generation Mobile Networks' was considered to be one of the key trends in the wireless telecommunication carriers market as of 2016. Indeed, the biggest change in the telecom industry will be the emergence of fifth-generation mobile networks (5G). 5G is expected to be much quicker than the present 4G. It will be some years before this technology becomes commercially available. The new-generation mobile network is likely to provide the capacity needed to support the IoT (Internet of Things) revolution. Low latency is another important feature expected from 5G.

Wireless telecom services market grew slower than global GDP due to regulatory barriers and high costs involved in setting up wireless networks and loss of call revenues due to OTT applications such as Skype and WhatsApp. During the forecast period the global wireless telecom services share of global GDP is expected to decrease to around 1.27%, indicating a slower growth rate than global GDP.
