02 Nov 2016 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – There was a period of strong geowth in the Thai telecom industry. However, this trend ended up and the growth has been moderate over the last couple of years.

The country benefited from the liberalized telecom sector, and there are still some regulatory issues that are to be solved.

The number of fixed lines is gradually decreasing due to the expansion taking place in the mobile market.

For instance, the penetration stood at 8.85 million lines in 2014. It decreased to approximately 5 million fixed lines in 2016.

The government has plans to pour THB 10 million into the improvement of the local telecom infrastructure. The local internet-connected population is set to hit the USD 40 million users mark by 2018.

The mobile broadband demonstrated strong growth in 2011-2014: the penetration rose from 11% in 2011 to 80% as of 2014.

The local mobile marketplace is not only mature, but also highly saturated. The market penetration reached its peak in 2014. Since then it dropped to 128% (as of 2016). The marketplace is predicted to see sluggish growth in the offing.

There was robust growth in the fixed telecom segment. Penetration of this market grew from around 7% in 2012 to more than 10% in 2016. The swift growth is set to continue in the coming years.
