KEY HIGHLIGHTS
LTE subscriptions soar
The rise of long-term evolution (LTE) and its adaptation has been exponential. Over the review period, LTE subscriptions grew a considerable CAGR of 289.5%, from 82,000 in 2012 to 4.8 million in 2016, with an anticipated increase over the forecast period at a CAGR of 21.8%, to 13 million in 2021.
Mobile subscriptions shows strong growth
During the review period, post-paid subscriptions increased at a CAGR of 6.6%, from 7.2 million in 2012 to 9.3 million in 2016, and are expected to grow further at a CAGR of 1.1% during the forecast period, to reach 9.8 million in 2021. This is partly due to attractive bundled services offered by post-paid operators, as there has been more focus placed on the post-paid segment in order to maintain a competitive edge. Moreover, LTE subscription continue to grow, consisting of 18% of the total mobile subscriptions in 2016, with expectations to increase to 48.7% by 2021.
Chile a hotbed for investment in Latin America
Chile is one of Latin America’s most promising investment destinations. In terms of investment, infrastructure stands out as particularly attractive, with a significant emphasis by Chile’s Government on large-scale investments into this sector. This is evident, as the Chilean Government announced investment of US$900 million on infrastructure projects. To cater to increasing demand for data connectivity, both the government and operators plan to invest in FTTx/and 4G/LTE infrastructure. The government allocated a budget for the execution of the Southern Optical Fiber Project to improve connectivity in the most remote locations in the country.
