revenue-contributing segment through 2021. Mobile data will be the fastest-growing segment in the
telecom market and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.1% during 2016-2021, mainly driven by

Key Findings
The overall telecom service revenue in Mali will grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2016-2021, mainly driven
by growth in the mobile segment.
Mobile revenue will account for 92.5% of the total telecom revenue in 2021; mobile data will be the
fastest-growing segment over 2016-2021.
2G will be the most adopted mobile technology through 2021. However, its share of the overall mobile
subscriber base will decline over the 2016-2021 forecast period, owing to adoption of 3G and 4G services in
the coming years.
The top two operators, Orange Mali and Malitel, will account for 100.0% share of overall service revenue in
2016. We expect the entry of a fourth mobile operator and MVNO will further intensify the competition in
the telecom market.
Mobile money services will be a key revenue source for operators to strengthen their market position.
