Nigeria will experience strong growth in telecoms service revenue in 2025, after price increases were approved

Analysys Mason recently published its latest forecasts for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), covering the period of 2024 to 2029. The full dataset, including metrics for ten modelled countries,¹ plus the regional totals, is available in the Analysys Mason's DataHub, while the full forecast report is available here. 

Nigeria is an outlier compared to other countries we modelled due to its high inflation and strict regulatory controls on price increases. This article will examine the latest developments in this area. It will also discuss the entry of Nigeria’s first mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) to the market and the 5G marketing strategies of mobile operators, and how these have affected our forecasts.
