THE ECONOMIC GROWTH POTENTIAL OF AFRICA According to the GSMA Africa Mobile Observatory 2011 Report: In Africa, mobile penetration will reach 649 million connections in Q4 2011, having first exceeded 50% mobile penetration in 2010. Over the past five years, the number of subscribers across Africa has grown by almost 20% each year and is set to reach more than 735 million by the end of 2012 The mobile ecosystem in Africa currently generated approximately US$56 billion or 3.5% of total GDP, with mobile operators alone contributing US$49 billion. GSMAs report found that there was major untapped potential on the continent with 36% of Africans within the 25 largest African mobile markets currently having no access to mobile Source: The Economist http://www.economist.com/node/21541008 services.#MOBILEINAFRICA INSIGHTS INTO MOBILE TELECOMS IN AFRICA DECEMBER 2011
