Mobile Number Portability Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising Consumer Demand for Flexibility and Competitive Telecom Landscape

• Growing customer demand for flexibility and cost-effective plans is fueling MNP adoption. Subscribers increasingly expect the freedom to switch carriers without losing their existing number, prompting regulators and operators to streamline portability processes

• Intense competition among telecom providers is pushing operators to embrace MNP as a retention tool while attracting new subscribers. The ability to retain numbers eliminates switching barriers, encouraging consumers to explore better data packages and services

• Regulatory initiatives and government mandates are playing a major role in expanding portability infrastructure. From time-bound porting processes to transparent customer handling, these frameworks are standardizing MNP across markets

• For instance, in 2022, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) implemented stricter guidelines for faster number porting, boosting consumer confidence and accelerating service provider competition

• While customer-centric demand and regulatory pressure are boosting market growth, telecom operators must continue to balance affordability with infrastructure investment to ensure smooth porting operations across both urban and rural networks.

Mobile Number Portability Market Scope

The market is segmented on the basis of technology type, transmission, and end user.

  • By Technology Type

On the basis of technology type, the mobile number portability market is segmented into SMS, Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), Signal Transfer Point (STP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The SMS segment held the largest market revenue share in 2024, driven by its widespread adoption, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity in facilitating portability requests across networks. SMS-based processes are reliable and easily accessible, making them a preferred method for consumers in both developed and emerging markets.

The SIP segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, fuelled by its ability to support real-time communication, scalability, and enhanced portability in next-generation IP-based networks. SIP-enabled portability solutions are gaining traction among operators due to their efficiency in handling large-scale requests and their compatibility with modern telecom infrastructures.

  • By Transmission

On the basis of transmission, the market is segmented into wireline and wireless. The wireless segment dominated the market revenue share in 2024, supported by the global surge in mobile subscribers and the increasing demand for seamless number retention when switching operators. Wireless portability is highly prevalent among individual consumers, driven by rising competition among telecom providers offering data-centric plans.

The wireline segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, with adoption supported by enterprises and government organizations that rely on fixed-line communication. Enhanced portability solutions for wireline networks are enabling operators to retain business clients while offering improved reliability and lower churn rates.

  • By End User

On the basis of end user, the mobile number portability market is segmented into individual consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and large enterprises. The individual consumers segment held the largest share in 2024, as increasing consumer demand for flexibility, affordability, and better service plans continues to drive MNP adoption. This segment benefits from regulatory mandates ensuring fast and transparent portability processes.

The SMEs segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by the need for cost optimization, unified communication solutions, and flexible carrier switching. SMEs are increasingly leveraging portability to improve operational efficiency while maintaining consistent communication channels with clients and partners.
