Market Analysis

The European mobile market, despite saturation (most of the region's markets had exceeded 100% penetration at the end of 2007), continues to grow. Data ARPU has been resilient despite promotions lowering the price of SMS services, which alone can account for up to 90% of total data revenue. Operators have successfully focused on migrating subscribers to 3G, while GSM growth has been flat or minimal, though until flat-rate data plans become common, the expensive 3G services will remain under-used.

  • In terms of subscriber base, the largest market in Europe is Russia with a share of 22%. In comparison, Ireland forms the smallest market with approx 0.7% share in 2006.
