Asia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Forecasts - 2013 Release

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qsp623/asia_telecoms) has announced the addition of the "Asia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Forecasts - 2013 Release" report to their offering.

This market report provides a series of forecasts for subscriber growth in selected markets in Asia. The report essentially covers the fixed line, internet and mobile subscriber market segments in 24 countries across Asia; some additional market segments are covered for some countries. It is noted that despite the presence of a number of sophisticated markets, Asia is in the main a developing region. Our report has therefore focused mainly on the developing economies of the region where the main segments of the respective markets are more often than not in their earlier and middle subscriber growth and development phases.

Executive Summary Asia: whilst fixed-line subscribers in general decline across region, mobile still on growth pathOf Asia's key market segments, the mobile market still has more room to grow as both mobile voice and data services in various forms continue to expand at a rapid rate all through the region. In the same manner the provision of internet access across the wider region still requires more effort to connect people to the internet and as a consequence there are still plenty of opportunities for growth. Although mobile broadband services are to some extent filling the gap in this market, ultimately there will be a need for fixed broadband services with more bandwidth. Even in the highly developed markets of Asia, the service providers are continuing their efforts to provide faster, more reliable internet services.

As already noted this report provides forecasts for subscriber growth across a range of market segments. The report provides a series of what BuddeComm terms scenario forecasts. By describing long-range scenarios we identify a band within which we expect subscriber growth to take place. The associated text describes what we see as the most likely growth trend within the identified band. The actual forecasts are summarised in a series of tables presented with the text.

Our scenario forecasting methodology applies a combination of our own historical information, together with telecommunications sector statistics from official and non-official, national and international sources. We assume a possible deviation of 15-20% around this data. All statistics for GDP, revenue, etc, are quoted in US$, in order to maintain consistency within and between the markets. At the same time we acknowledge that this can introduce some irregularities.

A set of sample tables are presented below, these being the actual scenario forecasts for Bangladesh. The upper and lower scenarios forecasts are presented for the years 2015 and 2020.
