Global Wireless Telecommunication Services Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis, June 2012
Background:
Although the global wireless telecommunication services industry is expected to maintain rather modest growth in 2012, overall industry revenue is forecast to reach an estimated US $1,104 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 4.8% over the next five years (2012–2017).
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and industry research firm, has analyzed the global wireless telecommunication services industry and presents its findings in “Global Wireless Telecommunication Services Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”
The wireless telecommunications services industry includes mobile phones, pagers, and other wireless telecommunication device support. The industry is relatively consolidated in terms of key players, suppliers, and buyers. Europe dominates this industry with 35% of the global industry share. China Mobile Ltd. and Vodafone Group plc are the two dominant global players in this highly competitive industry. Competition rivalry is high due to a large number of operators that compete on price as well as services. The threat of substitute is moderate due to use of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services. A combination of factors such as governmental regulations, the large number of subscribers, customer churn rates, and average revenue per user significantly affects industry dynamics.
Regulatory compliance, licensing requirements, global competitiveness, high debt, and abundant alternatives to customers at a minimal cost are some of the challenges facing the industry. Consistent expansion in mobile communication options and increased demand for emerging devices such as smart phones and tablets are expected to drive the market. Increased broadband services and wireless penetration are likely to drive growth in the APAC region and spending in emerging economies such as Latin America, Brazil, and South Africa.
Europe is anticipated to continue leading the industry with the highest industry share, followed by APAC and ROW during the forecast period. The APAC region represents good growth potential over the next five years. Continuing investments in expanding network connectivity, infrastructure upgrades, and growing numbers of wireless subscribers are expected to drive growth to new heights. Based on emerging trends, the new fourth-generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) broadband wireless technology evolution path is projected to drive future growth.
