Methodology
Demand signal
YoY growth in observable usage, spend, transactions, connections or search intent — drawn from central banks, sector regulators, GSMA, IEA/IRENA and IdeaToola desks.
Supply signal
YoY growth in licensed operators, installed capacity, provider counts, logistics throughput or funded rounds. Slower supply than demand = whitespace.
Confidence score
0–100 based on source count, recency (2025–2026), regulator triangulation and IdeaToola desk verification. High (≥80) uses ≥3 primary sources.
