In BMI’s view, the competition dynamics in Côte d’Ivoire’s telecoms market underscore the growth potential of tower outsourcing services in the country. In addition to the likelihood of strong patronage from telecoms and communication providers, firms operating in the country’s tower infrastructure management ecosystem will benefit from a relatively stable macroeconomic environment, which is positive for their overall risk assessment.
IHS Towers, SWAP Technologies and their suppliers are well placed to take advantage of opportunities in the Côte d’Ivoire tower services market; but IHS’ strong funding gives it greater capacity to absorb existing tower assets and build new ones more quickly.
