Description
At the end of 2006, there were nearly 2.8bn mobile subscriptions around the world, translating to a penetration rate of 44%. The share of the population with mobile subscriptions is far higher in the richer economies of the world than in the emerging markets — regions such as Western Europe exceed 100%, whereas in most of Africa and Southeast Asia penetration rates average less than 20%. It is thus evident that the bulk of future mobile growth will come from emerging economies.

Indeed, Pyramid Research forecasts that the global mobile market will add “the next billion” subscriptions by year-end 2009 and expects roughly 85% of the next billion to come from emerging markets.

This executive-level report analyzes the next billion mobile subscriptions in order to provide clients with a clearer understanding of the significance of the emerging markets in future mobile market growth. It offers trends in penetration and total subscriptions as well as figures for such measures as user penetration, churn rates, data ARPS and MOUs for 20 key countries. The report also compares developed market and emerging market forecasts for mobile demand through 2010 by both total subscriptions (prepaid and postpaid) and ARPS (voice and data), as well as forecasts for revenue and other measures.
