A new report from Arab Advisors Group assesses the Arab cellular markets’ intensity levels. Arab Advisors Group has devised the Cellular Competition Intensity Index which relies on a number of indicators that reflect the level of competition in the market, including operators’ market shares, the number of working operators, services and packages provided by each operator in 15 Arab countries.
In order to rate and properly assess the level of competition in Arab cellular markets, Arab Advisors Group has created the Cellular Competition Intensity Index. The index is relative in nature as it compares the state of every market relative to other markets. As such, even if a market’s absolute level of competition improved, its score in this relative index will also depend on how other markets developed. Arab Advisors Group also compared the Cellular Competition Intensity Index scores and rankings of the 15 Arab countries under study in October 2020 and August 2017.
Arab Advisors Group released a new report "Competition Levels in Arab Cellular Markets 2020". The report, which was released in November 2020, answers the following questions:
• Which Arab countries topped Arab Advisors Group’s Cellular Competition Intensity Index?
