UAE telecom operator du has reported a 6.9% increase in revenue for the first quarter, highlighting continued demand for connectivity and digital services despite a softer performance in March.
The growth was driven by steady expansion across mobile, fixed, and enterprise segments, with rising data consumption and digital service adoption supporting overall performance. The operator continues to benefit from strong demand for high-speed connectivity, particularly as businesses and consumers increasingly rely on digital platforms.
du has been investing in network upgrades, including 5G expansion and fibre infrastructure, to enhance service quality and support evolving customer needs. These investments are aimed at strengthening its competitive position in the UAE’s mature telecom market.
The results also reflect broader trends in the GCC, where telecom operators are leveraging digital services and enterprise solutions to drive revenue growth beyond traditional voice and messaging.
Despite short-term fluctuations, the underlying performance indicates resilience in the UAE telecom sector, supported by ongoing digital transformation across industries.
Editor’s Note:
Steady revenue growth in mature markets underscores the importance of service diversification beyond connectivity. du’s performance highlights how data demand and enterprise solutions continue to drive telecom growth in the UAE.
