Research and Markets: The 2009 Communications Markets in Malaysia Report Reveals the Malaysian Telecom Market Will Grow at a CAGR of 9.2 Percent in th
Monday June 29, 02:00 PM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c7854d/communications_mar)
has announced the addition of the "Communications
Markets in Malaysia - 2009 Edition" report to their offering.
Soaring demand for mobile broadband services in Malaysia, driven in part
by intense competition, will result in higher-than-expected growth rates
for telecom operators in that nation through 2014, according to this new
report.
Communications Markets in Malaysia offers a precise profile of the
country's converged telecommunications, media, and technology sectors
based on proprietary data from our research in the market. The 27-page
report provides detailed competitive analysis of both the fixed and
mobile sectors, tracks the market shares of technologies and services,
and monitors technologies such as WiMax, IPTV and VoIP. It provides a
comprehensive view of the communications market by analyzing key trends,
evaluating near-term opportunities and assessing upcoming risks factors.
Over the next five years, the Malaysian telecom market will grow at a
CAGR of 9.2 percent, we forecast. In 2014 it will generate $11.7 billion
thanks in part to increased demand for mobile and fixed broadband
services, notes Tae-Hyung Kim, analyst at Pyramid Research and author of
the report. "Mobile penetration reached 98 percent in 2008, which is
more than double the regional penetration average of 47 percent," Kim
says.
We expect Malaysia's mobile penetration rate to increase to 133 percent
by 2014. At that point mobile broadband subscriptions will number 2.6
million - an upward revision from earlier forecasts. Although nearly
three-quarters of Malaysia's mobile revenue is now generated by voice
services, broadband data services will account for an increasing
proportion of mobile revenue over the next five years, Kim notes.
"Pyramid Research expects mobile data services to account for 45 percent
of all mobile revenue by 2014, driven by increases in adoption of mobile
broadband services and mobile data applications," he explains.
Four operators engage in cutthroat competition in Malaysia's mobile
market. "New entrant U Mobile, along with the latest 3G licensee Digi,
will take competition to the next level as each operator attempts to
compete in not only traditional mobile voice and data services but also
in the mobile broadband arena," Kim says. "We believe that incumbent
Maxis and runner-up Celcom will continue to lead the market with a
combined market share exceeding 70 percent through the end of our
forecast period, while U Mobile's gains will likely come at the expense
of Digi."
