The Wireless Telecommunications Carriers industry is highly concentrated, with four mobile network operators (MNOs) – EE, O2, Vodafone and Three – dominating the market. This means revenue is largely dictated by the performance of those top four MNOs. Higher consumer and business demand for wireless connectivity over wired telecoms has supported demand in recent years, as it's advancing to become faster and more reliable. However, revenue is expected to edge downwards at a compound annual rate of 1.2% to £16.9 billion over the five years through 2025-26. The shift in consumer preferences towards data-based communication, like Facebook and WhatsApp, over traditional voice calls and SMS, which have traditionally been higher revenue generators, has curbed revenue and intense competition on data deals, which has reduced average revenue per user (ARPU). Economic challenges and affordability issues among consumers have further strained revenue as companies adjust their offerings to remain competitive amid these pressures. MNOs have benefitted from heightened demand for post-paid smartphones and data services as technology demands more data, with average monthly data usage reaching 15.1 GB in 2024, according to Ofcom. Mobile phone usage and consumers seeking data services to use on their smartphones anytime, anywhere, have further boosted demand, and customer access has improved, with 96% of premises being accessible by 5G as of January 2025. However, external competition is increasing with the growing popularity of apps and fierce internal competition, contributing to the drop in revenue. Weak consumer confidence, falling average revenue per user (ARPU) and increasing regulation (including cuts in mobile termination rates) have made operating conditions difficult for wireless telecom providers. In 2025-26, revenue is set to drop by 1.4%, as consumers continue to shop arou nd for the cheapest deals, causing major price competition between providers. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.2% over the five years through 2030-31 to £17.9 billion. Continued growth in demand for data services and declining competition from wired telecommunications will support MNOs. As 5G networks expand further across the UK, demand for telecom services from businesses and consumers alike is slated to swell. The high capital investment required to maintain and expand the network will likely constrain wireless telecom providers' profitability in the short term, but it will improve product offerings in the long term. However, challenges remain; intense competition and market saturation will likely continue to cut into ARPU, constraining revenue growth, especially with a slew of new MVNOs set to enter the market and accelerate competition.
