China’s telecom industry generated $128.2bn in telecom service revenue in 2010, showing a robust year on year growth of 10% from 2009 levels. The outlook for China’s telecom industry remains bright in 2011 because we expect 3G service adoption to gain more momentum four years after its inauguration and operators to further capitalize on their investments in the fixed broadband network through promotion of value-added services. The combination of robust growth in telecommunications service revenue and an appreciating renminbi will push total service revenue CAGR to 9.8% during the 2011-2016 period, the highest in Asia-Pacific. Though mobile voice is and will continue to be the largest contributor to overall revenue in China’s telecommunications services market, the future growth engines of the market will be mobile data and broadband Internet, which combined will account for 70% of the total revenue increase in China between 2011 and 2016. Though not within our forecast period, we expect mobile data service revenue to overtake mobile voice revenue sometime in 2017.
