Vodafone Revenue Jumps 32% in PNG

Vodafone PNG has recorded a 32 per cent increase in revenue for the first half of December 2025, while rival Digicel continues to maintain a larger telecommunications network in Papua New Guinea.

According to a report by Exep reneur, Vodafone PNG’s parent company ATH recorded a 10.2 per cent increase in Digicel Pacific income, reaching A$593 million in the year to June.

Despite Vodafone’s revenue growth, Digicel continues to lead in network infrastructure, operating more than 1,200 towers compared with Vodafone’s approximately 800 sites.

However, Vodafone is expanding its network and has begun sharing telecommunications towers, starting in Minj, Jiwaka.

The report also highlights uncertainty surrounding market share, as no regulator currently publishes subscriber figures by operator.

Vodafone claims to have around two million subscribers, while industry estimates suggest Digicel’s active subscriber base is approximately one million.

The developments point to growing competition between the two telecommunications companies in Papua New Guinea.
