List of Tables

[182 Pages Report] The Roaming Tariff Market size was estimated at USD 76.97 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 81.58 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.16% to reach USD 116.99 billion by 2030.

The roaming tariff consists of mobile network operators (MNOs) that offer international voice, text messaging, and data services and cater to customers traveling outside their home country. The prevalence of international tourism for leisure and business purposes owing to increasing globalization and government initiatives to eliminate or reduce roaming charges are boosting the demand for roaming tariff solutions. However, challenges faced by the roaming tariff market include regulatory issues concerning data privacy and security and increasing competition from alternative communication platforms, such as instant messaging applications offering free voice calls and messaging services over Wi-Fi or mobile data connections. In addition, high infrastructure costs associated with establishing cross-border partnerships can pose financial constraints on smaller MNOs seeking to expand their global footprint. Furthermore, leveraging advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), can help analyze customer data and provide personalized roaming plans. The development of innovative pricing models based on usage patterns and preferences is expected to generate lucrative opportunities for roaming tariffs in the future.
