A new report from the Arab Advisors Group analyzed the telecom market landscape in 18 Arab countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, UAE, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq and Syria. The research revealed that GCC countries were the most developed countries in terms of ICT penetration and infrastructure deployment. Palestine’s 3G delay is caused by obstacles erected by the Israeli occupation.
The markets of Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman are regional leaders in ICT infrastructure and adoption of telecom services. Relatively high income levels - coupled with focused and savvy operators as well as liberalization - have propped these markets to the forefront of telecom markets in the region, infrastructure and penetration wise.
A new report, “An Overview of the Telecom Market Landscape in 18 Arab Countries” was released to the Arab Advisors Group’s Telecom Strategic Research Service subscribers in February 26, 2015. This report can be purchased from the Arab Advisors Group for only US$ 1,750. The 84-page report, which has 60 detailed exhibits, provides a detailed overview of the telecom landscape in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, UAE, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq and Syria.

“There is a high competition level in the region’s markets and this manifest in the high penetration levels of the cellular services in the markets. All of the 18 Arab countries analyzed in the report have cellular penetration rates above 100% except for Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Palestine. The cellular boom contributed to the decline in fixed voice services as they present viable alternatives” Ms. Dalia Haddad, Arab Advisors senior research analyst stated.
“Of the analyzed countries, only Palestine and Yemen did not launch 3G services by end of March 2015. Algeria, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have launched LTE services.” Ms. Dalia Haddad, Arab Advisors senior research analyst added.
