FORECAST SUMMARY
Over the next year the increasing numbers of 5G roaming connections will drive the global roaming clearing market to reach $2.5 billion in 2024 - a substantial growth of 30%, up from $1.9 billion the previous year.
- To achieve this growth, data and financial clearing houses must implement BCE, a protocol that gives operators a more granular view of roaming activities, most notably greater visibility of the amount of roaming data generated by each roaming connection.
- The flexibility and granularity of BCE will be crucial to monetising the growing number of roaming 5G standalone connections on operator networks. This is as BCE enables clearing houses and operators to set roaming prices based on roaming network quality as a key advantage over incumbent roaming clearing protocols. As 5G roaming grows, BCE's ability to charge higher prices for roaming connections on 5G networks will also increase. Given as 5G roamers are expected to account for 27% of global roamers by 2028, these charging models are critical to future operator revenue.
- Data and financial clearing houses must also invest in solutions that mitigate the impact of increasingly restrictive regulations on roaming prices that are diminishing operators' ability to grow roaming revenue. These solutions must include the further development of regulatory management solutions that centralise roaming compliance. Backed by the additional insight into roaming activities enabled by BCE, operators will be able to optimise their monetisation and compliance strategies from central platform, improving efficiency, and reducing the complexity of the process.
