Telecommunications Services Market: Outlook for 2006 - 2012, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam & Philippines

Posted on: Thursday, 8 December 2005, 09:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c28981) has announced the addition of Telecommunications Services Market: Outlook 2006 - 2012, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam & Philippines to their offering.

Telecommunications is a large and dynamic business that continues to enjoy significant growth worldwide in past few quarters. Trillion dollars flowed into the telecom industry during the tech bubble of the late 1990s, but after several brutal years watching telecom industry fortunes being driven downward--with the attendant layoffs, bankruptcies, and even a few accounting scandals--in late 2004 and 2005 the telecommunications industry has turned the corner.

North America (NA) has the slowest growth rate but is region with the largest telecommunications services revenue, Europe and Middle East/Africa (EMEA) exhibits a slightly higher growth rate due to growth in the wireless market and growth from less developed sub-regions of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. While for the most of the mature telecom services markets, growth is most dependent on new services as opposed to subscriber growth scenario is opposite for underdeveloped markets. The faster-growing regions are Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam & Philippines/Pacific (AP) due to combination of a rapidly expanding middle class and increased privatization of key industries. The resulting pent-up demand for telecommunications services, much of which is satisfied by wireless services, is reflected in its high growth relative to the worldwide composite.

Telecommunications is a mature industry that has been globally available for some time. Growth of subscribers, traffic, and most importantly revenues, is by no means automatic. Entry costs for new users and tariffs must be continuously reduced to increase subscriber numbers and minutes of use. Infrastructure solutions that deliver lower cost coverage and more efficient capacity are critical to drive up service volumes and revenues. Competition is often already intense amongst the established players. Additionally, there is a steady stream of new operators and service providers who build up their service capabilities with the latest technology, hoping to create a major competitive advantage. Key needs for telecom operators are higher volumes and new services to sustain revenue growth and improved cost efficiency to protect margins. A prudent yet aggressive adoption of business enhancing technology is also needed to ensure current and future competitiveness: especially as future IP based communications creates the opportunity for much wider competition. Business Growth, Cost Efficiency and Evolution are therefore regarded as key drivers which can be addressed with wireless technology.

The wireless telecommunications market has long been recognized as one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing segments of the global telecommunications industry, and worldwide is growing at a faster rate than wireline service. The uptake of wireless services in developing regions, and the ability to achieve reasonable wireless data rates, has resulted in unprecedented wireless services penetration and revenue growth. With the continuing rapid declines in wireless equipment prices, and the rise in the use of wireless devices as Internet appliances, wireless services growth will continue to outpace wireline services growth throughout the forecast period.

The penetration of wireless services in developing regions and the ability to achieve reasonable speeds for wireless data has resulted in continued wireless services penetration and revenue growth, often at the expense of wireline services. The overall telecommunication services market is expected to grow profoundly in the coming years lead by wireless and high speed Internet services.

This research is targeted towards Telecommunications Services Providers, Operators, Technology and Product Companies, Telecom Equipment Manufacturers, IP Applications, Software and Hardware Vendors. This research is also appropriate for: Telecom Regulators, Value Added Service Providers, IT firms that are targeting or intending to target telecom landscape, and any & every organisations that plan to use communications to enhance overall productivity. Further due to extensive coverage in easy to understand format and comprehensive analysis and strategic discussion makes report condensed knowledge booster for other professionals or students interested in Telecommunication Technology.
