More than half a billion people across Africa now buy mobile services, the GSMA says.
A GSMA report says there were 557 million unique mobile subscribers across Africa at the end of 2015, equivalent to 46 percent of the continent’s population, making Africa the second-largest mobile market in the world.
Africa’s three largest markets – Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa – together accounted for around a third of the total subscriber base. The number of unique mobile subscribers is forecast to reach 725 million by 2020, accounting for 54 per cent of the expected population by this point.
Mobile broadband (3G/4G) accounted for just over a quarter of total connections at the end of 2015, but is expected to account for almost two-thirds by 2020.
