The Wireless network data traffic in the Middle East and North Africa: trends and forecasts 2016–2021
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is composed of a diverse range of countries, but mobile network operators (MNOs) across the region hope to use the mobile data segment to drive future revenue growth.
This report assesses the extent to which MNOs in MENA will be able to increase cellular data traffic and how they are trying to achieve this aim.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executive summary
WORLDWIDE TRENDS
Worldwide: The rate of growth for cellular data traffic will slow considerably during the forecast period
Worldwide: Rapid 4G adoption in India and China is driving cellular data traffic growth
Worldwide: Even in 2021 there will still be some correlation between income levels and monthly handset usage
Worldwide: Dongle and router traffic is not set to account for a large proportion of traffic across most emerging markets
Worldwide: Public Wi-Fi traffic’s share of total out-of-home traffic is declining in developed markets
Worldwide: There continues to be little correlation between cellular data traffic growth and operator revenue
Worldwide: Removing unlimited throttled speed prepaid data quotas can significantly reduce traffic, but its commercial impact has been mixed
Worldwide: Offering unlimited throttled speed video traffic need not increase video traffic and could be a significant differentiator
REGIONAL TRENDS
Middle East and North Africa: GCC markets are showing solid rates of growth
Middle East and North Africa: There is still significant potential for traffic growth in the region
COUNTRY-LEVEL TRENDS
Oman: Stable market dynamics limit dramatic data traffic growth
Qatar: Data usage is low compared to average income levels
Saudi Arabia: Traffic from dongles and routers will become less important
UAE: Data traffic growth is restricted by the affordability of prepaid data to immigrant groups
