The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Asia-Pacific Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis.
A wireless network service provider is called a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). It leases to use the networking services of a licensed mobile operator in order to deliver mobile services under its trademark name, but it does not keep the radio access spectrum or the networking equipment. Targeting a particular market, these suppliers independently retail and brand their cellular services, which are backed by both new and current customers.
- In July 2024, Digital Wallet Solutions Corporation declared the opening of Smiles Connect, a new MVNO service. With this launch, the company hopes to assist migrant workers by offering a cost-effective and dependable internet connectivity solution.
- Rakuten Mobile Inc. announced in May 2024 that it has collaborated with STAGE X Co. Ltd., a South Korean mobile network operator, and Akai Symphony Inc. These businesses have an agreement in place to form a new greenfield mobile network operator that will be ready to offer 5G services in the 28 GHz spectrum as a result of their relationship.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: The demand for affordable voice and internet services is continuously increasing, which is driving market expansion. This incentivizes service providers to buy network services at wholesale prices from mobile network operators (MNOs) and resell them as packaged services for less money than MNOs would charge. These inexpensive data services enable mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) to draw in customers and businesses in the area by offering data plans at competitive prices. Furthermore, the GSMA projection indicates that 162 million mobile subscribers will be in Northeast Asia. There are chances for mobile virtual network operators to increase their market share in the Asia-Pacific area due to the steadily rising number of mobile users. Moreover, 5G is anticipated to usher in a new era of connectivity, boosting productivity and introducing new services for a variety of industries. In terms of 5G implementation and upcoming technology testing, mobile network operators are still in a good position
Challenges: The primary issue that MVNOs confront is that they lack wireless infrastructure because they do not possess any allocated spectrum. Furthermore, because these wireless providers target specific market niches, they need to maximize returns on investment and minimize costs by optimizing their network infrastructure and management investments. In order to provide customer services, virtual network operators need rent access to data and voice services through the MNO's wireless infrastructure. The ability of Mobile Virtual Network Operators to create new services is limited by their reliance on the network provider. It causes the MNOs in conventional market categories to face more competition.
Market Competitive Landscape
There are several different participants in the Asia-Pacific mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) industry, including Asahi Net Inc., China Mobile International Limited (China Mobile Limited), and Century Snail Communication Technology Co. Ltd., Rakuten Mobile Inc. (Rakuten Group, Inc.), LG Hello Vision Corporation, The market participants under investigation are implementing tactics like joint ventures and acquisitions to expand their range of products and secure a long-term edge over rivals.

COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market

Due to operational difficulties and unpredictability in the economy, the pandemic first caused supply chain disruptions and hampered the introduction of new MVNO services. This resulted in delays in technological rollouts and network expansions. But the crisis also increased demand for affordable, flexible mobile services and hastened the adoption of digital technology, which created prospects for MVNOs. In order to gain traction during the economic slump, many MVNOs made adjustments such as improving their digital platforms, providing competitive pricing, and focusing on underrepresented market segments.
