An update on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs
The Region in Focus series provides an essential quarterly briefing on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs for mobile markets around the world.
Much of the discussion around 5G’s revenue potential has focused on opportunities in the enterprise sector. However, 5G consumer monetisation is equally important, as around 70% of revenues for most operators still come from this segment. In the Middle East and North Africa, operators continue to explore a range of opportunities to drive consumer revenue growth.
Note: As of Q2 2025, the Region in Focus reports are now titled according to the quarter analysed for market developments. This edition focuses on analysis of the latest developments for Q3 2025, while providing country KPIs for the year to June 2025.
