Data Roaming Global Market Report 2024

Description

Data roaming refers to the ability of a mobile device to connect to the internet and access data services while outside its home network's geographical coverage area, typically in a different country. This enables users to continue using data services, such as browsing the internet, sending emails, and using apps, without interruption.

The main services of data roaming include network routing, customer care, handset management, and marketing and sales. Network routing in the data roaming market involves directing data traffic between different mobile networks to ensure seamless connectivity for users traveling internationally. The various infrastructures include skinny mobile virtual network operators, thin mobile virtual network operators, and thick mobile virtual network operators. The operational models include resellers, service operators, and full mobile virtual network operators, and the subscribers include both consumers and enterprises.

The data roaming market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $84.24 billion in 2023 to $89.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing ownership and usage of smartphones and tablets, international trade and business travel, the implementation of regulations affecting roaming charges and service quality, the rise in international tourism activities, and the increase in the number of unique subscribers.

The data roaming market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $114.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the introduction of customized data plans, increasing smartphone penetration, regulatory changes, and growing awareness and adoption of sustainable practices in telecommunications. Major trends during this period include advancements in technology, adoption of eSIM and iSIM technologies, expansion of 5G roaming capabilities, integration of IoT devices, personalized roaming packages, and an ongoing focus on enhancing cybersecurity protocols.

The growth of the data roaming market is expected to be driven by increasing international tourism activities. International tourism encompasses travel across countries for leisure, business, education, or cultural experiences. This trend is supported by a growing interest in exploring art, leisure activities, business opportunities, competitive travel pricing, and the desire for relaxation and adventure. Data roaming plays a crucial role in international tourism by allowing travelers to stay connected via their smartphones for navigation, communication, and accessing travel information from any location. For example, according to a report from the US Department of Commerce in June 2022, foreign visitors to the US rose from 19.2 million in 2020 to 22.1 million in 2021, underscoring the impact of increasing international tourism on the data roaming market.

Leading companies in the data roaming market are concentrating on developing innovative technologies, such as enhancing roaming security measures, to ensure the security of data and communications for mobile users traveling internationally. This involves implementing robust measures and technologies to address evolving cybersecurity threats, including advanced encryption standards, improved authentication mechanisms, and compliance with regulatory requirements. For instance, Deutsche Telekom AG launched Magenta Security Roaming in April 2024, a security-by-design concept aimed at future-proofing roaming security. This integrated platform simplifies security complexities by providing a comprehensive solution for all roaming security needs, encompassing technology, operations, and management in one accessible platform.
