“Prepaid services dominate the Arab cellular markets. By end of March 2016, 14 operators had prepaid subscriber bases of 90% or more. The Arab Advisors Group believes that the rapid growth in cellular line bases in the Arab World is clearly due to the increasing appeal of prepaid offers” Ms. Hiba Rabadi, Senior Research Analyst at Arab Advisors Group stated.
“The cellular market in the Arab World is well ahead of the fixed line market. In 2015, the aggregate cellular penetration rate reached 108.47%, compared to a fixed line combined penetration rate of less than 9%” Ms. Rabadi added.
