Nepal Telecom Companies (2024 - 2029)

Nepal Telecom Market Companies Summary

The telecom market in Nepal is projected to experience steady growth in the coming years. The industry, which faces challenges due to topographical and financial issues that hinder network infrastructure development and service standards, is dominated by three major telecom players. The government has taken steps to establish Nepal as a significant hub for international communications, with the mobile market being a primary focus. The mobile sector continues to receive the majority of domestic capital investment, thanks to operator infrastructure expansion. The landscape of the telecom industry in the country has been significantly transformed by government-sponsored reforms and policies. There is still potential for growth in the fixed-line sector in Nepal, mainly due to the monopoly of the mobile market. As the use of mobiles for voice and data/broadband continues to increase, the industry is expected to grow slightly more in the next five years. Despite intense local competition and a relatively saturated market, the wireless market in Nepal has seen rapid growth in the past few years. The leading mobile providers are planning to expand their coverage due to an increase in data usage. This has led to significant investment in new data centers to cope with the annual growth in data volume and the increasing need for data localization.
