In SnapShot 82 TCL forecasts the Top 10 mobile pricing trends for 2017, and also examines the forecast mobile pricing trends for 2016 (which was published in SnapShot 66) against the trends that have actually taken place over the past year.

TCL forecasts that 2017 will see the evolution of existing mobile pricing trends – as most countries in the world reach mature levels of mobile penetration – with limited growth in new subscribers in most markets worldwide, with a slowdown in growth rates.

2017 will continue to see growth in low cost smartphones particularly geared towards the mass market Pre Pay segment.

There has been an increase in mobile data allowances and data usage in developing markets, and a move towards larger Post Pay bundles.
