Most European countries are moving towards having three major MNOs due to recent market consolidation.

The share of Europeans living in a country with no more than three MNOs is expected to grow by 10 percentage points to 56% from 2015 to 2025, as a result of recent market consolidations (recent examples include the MÁSMÓVIL-Orange and Vodafone-Three mergers in Spain and the UK, respectively).
