Telecom Services Sector Scorecard Q1 2024 Update - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

The thematic screen of GlobalData’s telecom services sector scorecard has shown little sign of change in the first quarter of 2024. The top 10 is the same as it was in Q4 2023, with Telefónica in the top spot ahead of Orange and SK Telecom. Rounding out the top 10 are two US companies (Verizon and AT&T), two European companies (Deutsche Telekom and BT), two Middle Eastern companies (E& and Saudi Telecom), and one Japanese company (NTT).

Telecom carriers continue to face global challenges, including uncertainty created by geopolitics, the economic climate, and issues with supply chains. They also benefit from technology advancements in areas such as cloud, enterprise digitalization, and virtualization, which have enabled carriers to bring different technology components together and deliver value to customers through a strong portfolio of services.
