Global Wholesale Telecom Carrier Market Trends and Forecast | 2035
The global wholesale telecom carrier market, while mature, is experiencing a period of significant structural change, with growth being captured unevenly across its various service segments. A strategic analysis of the Wholesale Telecom Carrier Market Growth Share by Company and by service type reveals a clear and powerful trend: the fastest and most significant growth is in the data segment, particularly high-capacity data transit and wavelength services, while the traditional wholesale voice market is in a state of long-term, structural decline. The companies that are most successfully capturing this growth share are those that own the modern, high-capacity fiber optic infrastructure and have deep relationships with the primary drivers of data growth: the hyperscale cloud providers and content delivery networks. The Wholesale Telecom Carrier Market size is projected to grow USD 1620021.14 Million by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.54% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Understanding this allocation of growth is key, as it highlights a fundamental shift in the market's value, from carrying minutes of voice calls to carrying petabytes of data, with the future of the industry being defined by the "big pipes" of the global internet backbone.
A disproportionately large share of the market's growth is being captured by the major global network service providers who specialize in high-capacity data services. Companies like Lumen Technologies, Zayo Group, and other major backbone providers are the primary beneficiaries of the explosive growth in global internet traffic. Their growth is driven by the insatiable demand from the major cloud and content companies (like AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Netflix) for massive amounts of bandwidth to connect their global data centers and to deliver their services to end-users. These wholesale carriers are capturing growth by selling high-capacity wavelength services (e.g., 100Gbps or 400Gbps dedicated connections) and IP transit services. The rollout of 5G is another major growth driver, as mobile network operators need to significantly upgrade the "backhaul" capacity connecting their cell towers to the core network, creating a massive demand for high-capacity fiber connections from the wholesale carriers. The growth share is flowing to the players who own the most extensive long-haul and metro fiber networks in the key economic hubs of the world.
In stark contrast, the traditional wholesale voice market is experiencing a decline in both volume and price, leading to a negative growth share for companies that are heavily exposed to this segment. The rise of over-the-top (OTT) communication services like WhatsApp, which allow for free voice and video calls over the internet, has dramatically reduced the volume of traditional international voice calls that are terminated by wholesale carriers. The price per minute for wholesale voice termination has been in a state of freefall for over a decade. While it is still a large market in absolute terms, it is not a source of growth. The companies that are succeeding are those that have successfully pivoted their business from a focus on voice to a focus on data. Another area of growth capture is in the mobile wholesale space. The rise of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), who do not own their own radio access network but instead lease capacity from a major MNO, is creating a growing wholesale business for the major mobile carriers. This allows the MNOs to capture a new revenue stream from their existing network assets.
