MENA Mobile Virtual Network Operators Industry Overview
The MENA mobile virtual network operator market is concentrated and dominated by a few major players like Virgin Mobile KSA, Lebara Mobile KSA, Swyp (Etisalat UAE), Majan Telecommunication LLC (Renna Mobile), and FRiENDi mobile. With a prominent market share, these major players focus on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. These companies leverage strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market share and profitability. However, with technological advancements and product innovations, mid-size to smaller companies are increasing their market presence by securing new contracts and tapping new markets. In June 2022, the first mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Kuwait, Virgin Mobile Kuwait, was introduced by the Dubai-based Virgin Mobile Middle East and Africa (VMMEA). Wafra International Investment Company, Impulse International for Telecommunications, and VMMEA contributed funding to the expansion into Kuwait.
