Welcome to GSMA Intelligence’s 32nd quarterly review of regional mobile trends.
We know that you are busy and don’t have time to scan the thousands of operator data points captured in our online database each quarter, so our analyst team has summarised the latest regional data trends for you in this report.
The report provides content from our News Feed tool, our consumer survey results, and featured data from external data providers. This quarter, we have focused on mobile gaming usage patterns, notably in the US where consumers are predominantly tech-savvy. Our consumer survey results provide insights into this topic, while we invited Verto Analytics to share additional data and insights on the use of mobile gaming.
The regional slides feature easy-to-digest statistics covering mobile adoption, market structure, network launches, technology migration and financials.
