5G signifies the next step in technological advancement and innovation for telecom operators across the MENA region. As pioneers in the region, the GCC states were the first to implement and roll out 5G networks, setting the benchmark for 5G plans and pricing. This advanced connectivity not only enhances existing services but also supports emerging technologies such as IoT and AI, becoming a cornerstone of the region’s digital economy. Consequently, monitoring the 5G developments in the GCC is crucial for defining standards and pricing models across MENA.
Arab Advisors Group released a new series of reports that dives deep into the 5G market in the GCC. The series acts as a panoptic overview of each GCC state’s 5G market, covering postpaid and prepaid 5G data only plans. The series shed light on plans’ benefits, fees, and fee per 1 GB which aids in identifying underpriced and overpriced plans. Furthermore, the series leverages Arab Advisor Group’s extensive past data on 5G services in the region to investigate patterns, trends and shifts in 5G pricing between 2020 and 2024.
