Region in Focus: Sub-Saharan Africa, Q4 2023

An update on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs

The Region in Focus series provides an essential quarterly briefing on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs for mobile markets around the world. There was increased interest in and adoption of network API frameworks in 2023, including the GSMA’s Open Gateway initiative, which more than 40 of the world’s largest operators have signed up to. The goal of network API exposure is to better monetise network assets and capabilities. In 2024, we expect increasing adoption by operators in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, but also progress on the ecosystem front and with monetisation models.
