Pakistan’s mobile telecommunications industry experienced notable market share shifts in February 2026, with official data revealing a clear divergence between the country’s largest and smaller operators. Jazz and Zong, the two leading players, continued their downward slide with market shares dipping to 36.58% and 26.55% respectively, extending a concerning trend that has been building over several months. In contrast, Telenor Pakistan and Ufone delivered positive performances, with their market shares rising to 21.40% and 14.43% respectively, as industry observers link Ufone’s consistent growth to the growing strategic benefits of its ongoing merger with Telenor Pakistan.
