The mobile communications industry in LATAM is crucial for economic growth, social connectivity, and digital inclusion. As smartphone penetration increases and network coverage expands, 5G connectivity demands market innovation, support for businesses, and better general access to an essential service. The analysis is segmented by prepaid and postpaid services, with a clear dominance of the prepaid segment in subscriptions and devices, including mobile phones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) markets, with a narrow relation between B2B and IoT devices.
This study aims to present the current landscape of cellular network technologies in LATAM, especially for Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico, and discover the evolution of 5G deployment in these 5 countries. The main objective is to analyze technology development in terms of subscription and revenue metrics and discuss the forecast analysis.
Frost & Sullivan also examines pricing and market trends as well as compliance regulations for the B2B and B2C segments to highlight the most important challenges and opportunities stakeholders must consider in this evolving market.
