Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report which finds that Middle Eastern countries are investing heavily to develop a world-class Information Communication Technology infrastructure in the region.

Middle East ICT Market Analysis states that countries like the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia have  recently seen phenomenal growth and development in their ICT infrastructure, particularly in the mobile telephony segment. This enables a large proportion of the Middle Eastern population to enjoy the benefits of mobile services and contrasts sharply with the situation in the region in early 2000.

Authors of the report find that the mobile market in the Middle East, with more than 40 operators, is growing at nearly 12% to 15% a year. Also, mobile companies across the region are partnering with foreign companies to incorporate advanced telecom technologies into their services.  For instance, the business intelligence and marketing campaign software company Business Logic Systems - that focuses on the mobile telecom industry - has expanded its business activities in the UAE, an important market in the Middle East.

The study analyses the opportunities and factors critical to the success of the ICT industry in the Middle East region - particularly Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE, Jordan, Iran, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

The report provides an overview of the ICT industry that will help evaluate the present and future scenario of PCs, Internet, mobile and fixed telephony, and broadband in the Middle East.

Key Findings

• Government initiatives, along with the liberalisation and privatisation of the telecom industry, are fueling growth in the Middle East ICT industry.
