Recently released market study: Romania Telecommunications Report Q1 2011

Fast Market Research recommends "Romania Telecommunications Report Q1 2011" from Business Monitor International, now available
 
Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- BMI's Q111 update to Romania's telecommunications market report contains analysis of the latest market data from major telecoms service providers and the regulator as well as our new forecasts for the mobile, fixed line and broadband sectors, which now extend to 2015.

Romania's telecoms market continues to exhibit growth across all sectors despite the high penetration in the mobile market. Romania's telecoms market bucks the wider global trend of declining fixed-line services in the face of such high demand for wireless options, mainly because the growth experienced by alternative operators more than offset the decline in the subscriber base of the incumbent operator. That said, the transfer of voice calls from fixed networks to wireless networks now also looks set to affect data transmission as indications are that mobile broadband is gaining in popularity in Romania. This puts additional pressure on fixed telephony service providers as they seek to boost revenues through broadband offerings.

BMI believes this is a good development for Romania's broadband market giving customers an even wider range of options for their broadband services. This boost in competition should help to keep broadband affordable and bring services to a wider range of the population. There are still some limitations to broadband growth including pricing and availability of PCs and computer literacy rates. Nonetheless, for both fixed and mobile operators, offering internet access will become the main area of revenue and subscriber growth.

Fixed-line operators have already diversified their offerings to include pay-TV services also, helping to provide a new revenue stream to help offset the decline in income from voice services. Pay-TV continues to see good growth with the household penetration rate reaching 79.4% in 2009. A wide range of options provided by operators across the country has helped to generate the high rate with technological advances such as IPTV allowing operators to offer low priced services that are helping the market to grow. However, the pay-TV market is highly fragmented with around 500 service providers at the end of 2009. BMI believes the market consolidation is inevitable, especially as smaller operators might find it difficult to source resources for the analogue switchover.

BMI notes that the mobile market largely remained flat in the 12 months to September 2010 with quarterly gains in Q409 and Q110 almost wiped out by quarterly losses in Q210 and Q310. For mobile operators growth is being generated by interest in 3G services, mobile content and mobile broadband. Nonetheless, ARPUs continue to decline, compounded by a weaker economy and the limited scope for attracting new subscribers. By the end of 2015, we expect the mobile market to have over 33mn subscribers, 43% of which will be 3G users.
