The Egyptian telecom market generated $6.4bn in service revenue in 2010, having grown at a 21% CAGR over the previous two years. Going forward, we still expect healthy growth — with revenue rising at a 4.2% CAGR from 2010 to 2015 — though this growth will highly depend on the upcoming civilian government and whether it will continue the previous regime’s strategy in promoting telecom services.
Mobile voice is the largest single contributor to total revenue, at $4.2bn in 2010, followed by fixed voice at $1.13bn. Fixed voice penetration reached its peak in 2008 and has been declining gradually ever since. Although there is still room for further growth in mobile voice penetration, the majority of new subscriptions will either be second or third SIM cards for existing users or first-time subscriptions for users at the very bottom of the income pyramid.
