Juniper Research forecasts that the number of global international roaming subscribers dropped by 73% to 243 million in 2020; caused by travel restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

• The total number of mobile roaming subscriber numbers would take until 2024 to exceed 2019 levels; reaching 918 million by 2024, as the travel industry embarks on a prolonged recovery from the long-term impacts of the pandemic.
• Operators in North America will be amongst the first to recover from the impacts of the pandemic on the roaming market. Juniper Research forecasts that the region will account for 23% of total roaming revenue by 2025, as border restrictions are lifted and demand for travel returns to normal levels.
• Juniper Research believes that North America’s recovery will be aided by the region’s early adoption of 5G services, with operators able to increase roaming revenue through the provision of advanced functionality to subscribers. Operators must therefore focus on expanding 5G roaming agreements in 2021 to capitalise on this revenue growth in the future.
• The UK will account for 11% of mobile roaming subscribers in Europe by 2025, increasing from 8% in 2020. It found that UK-based operators are now facing pressure to form individual bilateral agreements with operators in Europe to guarantee continued inclusive roaming for UK subscribers.
