# Jordan Telecom Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Service Type, Customer Type & Sales Channel, 2026–2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Jordan Telecom Market operates through three national mobile network operators, supported by fixed broadband, leased-line and enterprise connectivity providers. Demand is increasingly data-intensive: mobile broadband subscriptions reached **8.48 million in Q3 2025**, while prepaid accounts represented 65% of subscriptions. This structure makes bundle design, recharge frequency and data allowance segmentation central to acquisition, retention and revenue management. Amman is the principal commercial and network-density hub, reflecting population concentration, enterprise headquarters and government demand. Fixed broadband household penetration reached approximately **48% in Amman during Q1 2025**, compared with 7% in Mafraq and 14% in Ma'an. The resulting density advantage improves fiber economics, sales productivity and utilization, while creating a separate investment case for fixed wireless access outside the capital. Market access and pricing remain influenced by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission through spectrum licensing, service-quality supervision, numbering, interconnection and consumer-protection requirements. Commercial 5G expansion accelerated after licensing arrangements with operators, contributing to **287,000 mobile 5G subscriptions in Q3 2025**, up 307% from Q3 2024. Regulation therefore affects both capital commitments and the speed at which premium network investment can be monetized. The strategic transition is toward higher-value connectivity, enterprise platforms and converged digital services. Quarterly mobile data traffic increased **17.6% year on year to 767.5 million GB in Q3 2025**, while fixed traffic rose 7.1%. Operators that convert traffic growth into differentiated bundles, cloud services, managed connectivity, fintech and content partnerships can improve revenue quality despite declining fixed-voice usage and price-sensitive prepaid competition. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 1,701 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Amman Governorate (2025) * Dominant Segment: Mobile Connectivity (fastest growing) * Total Number of Players: 10 ## Future Outlook The Jordan Telecom Market is projected to expand from USD 1,701 million in 2025 to USD 2,532 million by 2031, representing a forecast CAGR of 6.85%. Growth is expected to outpace the historical CAGR of 4.70% as 5G traffic monetization, fiber migration, enterprise ICT contracts and digital bundle personalization contribute more revenue than legacy fixed voice. The value outlook assumes mobile data revenue grows faster than connection volume, with premium postpaid plans, device financing, enterprise cloud services and content-linked bundles raising annual revenue per active connection.

FAQs #### Q: What was the size of the Jordan Telecom Market in 2025? **A:** The Jordan Telecom Market was valued at USD 1,701 million in 2025. The estimate covers retail mobile connectivity, fixed broadband, fixed voice, leased lines, enterprise ICT, wholesale interconnection and operator-distributed equipment and digital services. It is supported by operator disclosures, including USD 595 million of Zain Jordan revenue, approximately USD 510 million for Orange Jordan and approximately USD 311 million for Umniah's Jordan segment. The central estimate carries an indicative USD 1,600-1,800 million confidence band, with the largest sensitivity arising from private fixed-ISP and enterprise-service revenue. **Data used:** USD 1,701 million market value, 2025; 9.30 million modeled active broadband connections, 2025 **So what:** Investors should assess operator value using service mix and cash generation rather than subscriber scale alone. #### Q: How large will the Jordan Telecom Market become by 2031? **A:** The market is forecast to reach USD 2,532 million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.85% from the 2025 base. Growth is expected to accelerate as 5G adoption, fiber migration, enterprise ICT, cloud, cybersecurity and segmented consumer data bundles contribute more revenue. The forecast assumes connection growth remains below value growth, allowing annual market revenue per active connection to improve. Under a constrained scenario, the 2031 market could remain near USD 2,320 million, while faster enterprise and premium-service adoption could support approximately USD 2,780 million. **Data used:** USD 2,532 million forecast value, 2031; 6.85% CAGR, 2026-2031 **So what:** Strategy should prioritize revenue-per-connection improvement and enterprise recurring revenue rather than volume-only expansion. #### Q: Which telecom profit pools are expected to expand fastest? **A:** Mobile data, fiber broadband, enterprise managed connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity and device-linked postpaid plans are expected to capture the largest incremental profit pool. Mobile data traffic increased 17.6% year on year in Q3 2025, while Zain Jordan's data revenue rose 15% during 2025. Umniah's business-to-business revenue increased 13%, showing that enterprise services can outgrow mature consumer voice. Legacy fixed voice will continue to decline, making bundled broadband, digital platforms and managed technology services increasingly important to EBITDA growth. **Data used:** 17.6% mobile data-traffic growth, Q3 2025; 13% Umniah B2B revenue growth, 2025 **So what:** Operators should direct capital and specialist sales capacity toward data monetization and contract-based enterprise services. #### Q: What is the most significant risk facing telecom operators in Jordan? **A:** The main risk is a widening gap between data consumption and revenue realization. Mobile data traffic grew 17.6% year on year, while a 65% prepaid share keeps customers highly responsive to price and promotional allowances. Operators must simultaneously fund 5G, fiber, core-network and digital-platform upgrades. If competitive bundles increase data allowances faster than customer spending, network utilization rises without adequate returns. The risk is highest where operators duplicate infrastructure or pursue coverage expansion without disciplined household, enterprise or premium-user conversion. **Data used:** 65% prepaid share, Q3 2025; USD 88 million Zain Jordan capital expenditure, 2025 **So what:** Capital allocation should be tied to location-level demand, bundle profitability and measurable migration outcomes. #### Q: How does Jordan compare with neighboring telecom markets? **A:** Jordan is smaller than Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iraq in absolute telecom revenue but is positioned to grow faster than Iraq and Lebanon. Its projected CAGR of 6.85% compares with approximately 3.44% for Iraq and 5.20% for Lebanon. Jordan also benefits from commercial 5G services, three national mobile operators, a 77% fiber share of fixed broadband and high internet usage. These factors create a comparatively mature digital foundation, although the country's smaller population constrains the revenue scale available to individual operators. **Data used:** 6.85% Jordan CAGR, 2026-2031; 77% fiber share, Q3 2025 **So what:** Jordan is best approached as a focused digital-services and enterprise-connectivity market rather than a regional volume play. #### Q: Why are segmented data bundles important for future market growth? **A:** Segmented bundles allow operators to translate diverse usage patterns into differentiated willingness to pay. Jordan recorded 8.48 million mobile broadband subscriptions and 767.5 million GB of quarterly mobile data traffic in Q3 2025. A single mass-market allowance cannot efficiently monetize students, gamers, video streamers, families, visitors, remote workers and small businesses. Plans differentiated by application, speed, time, roaming, device financing, loyalty and validity can improve conversion while limiting blanket price reductions that dilute the entire customer base. **Data used:** 8.48 million mobile broadband subscriptions, Q3 2025; 767.5 million GB mobile data traffic, Q3 2025 **So what:** Customer analytics and real-time offer management should become core commercial capabilities for every major operator. #### Q: Which demand driver will have the greatest impact through 2031? **A:** The strongest demand driver will be the combination of higher data intensity and digitization of government and enterprise activity. Internet usage has reached approximately 96% of Jordan's population, while leased-line connections and enterprise ICT revenue continue to expand. Consumers require more capacity for video, gaming, education and payments, while institutions need cloud-ready connectivity, cybersecurity, managed networks and resilient data-center access. This dual consumer-enterprise demand supports both connection upgrades and higher-value recurring contracts across the forecast period. **Data used:** 96% internet usage, 2024; 25,500 leased-line subscriptions, Q3 2025 **So what:** Operators should integrate network, cloud, security and application capabilities into sector-specific enterprise propositions. --- ## Table of Contents # Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases - Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey - delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
