Description

UAE Telecom Services Market Forecast, 2021—2026

This IDC Market Forecast examines the outlook for the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) telecommunications market for 2021–2026. The study analyzes the provision of consumer and business connectivity (voice and data) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) services, and discusses the key trends, challenges, and competitive dynamics shaping the market.The UAE is a duopolistic market, with government entities holding substantial stakes in both licensed operators, du and Etisalat (recently rebranded as "etisalat by e&"). After a year of declining revenues, the sector began to recover in 2021, benefiting from improved economic activity, renewed tourism, ongoing economic diversification, and enterprise digital investments. The Expo 2020 international fair, held in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022, contributed to a brief surge in the mobile segment. Operators, however, face the challenge of leveraging next-generation connectivity services (fiber and 5G) to maintain growth momentum and incrementally increase revenues via digital and ICT services."The performance of the UAE telecom sector improved over the last year, driven by rising economic activity and Expo 2020. With 5G network coverage extending across more than 90% of the country and a broad range of 5G handsets available, the uptake of 5G services is likely to grow significantly in the next five years. However, the sector must remain watchful of global economic and geopolitical developments to assess their possible impacts on the UAE economy." — Program Manager Krishna Chinta, Telecom and IoT, IDC MEA

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
