Asia-Pacific Telecom Insider / Vol. 1, No 1, Edition 2 - Capex in Asia/Pacific: Driven by 3G in China, Spending to Rise Despite Global Downturn
Pyramid Research, Inc., Feb 2009, Pages: 13
Despite declining rates of GDP growth, fluctuating currencies and stagnating GDP per capita levels, operators throughout the Asia-Pacific region have been sticking to their overall investment plans. The author expects to see operators in developed Asian markets such as Japan, Singapore and South Korea maintain their overall Capex levels. In addition, we believe that operators in emerging markets, with a few exceptions, will stick to their Capex plans, keeping overall 3G investment levels in Asia-Pacific high. Thanks to their continued organic growth, China and India will in fact keep the region’s total Capex growing. These trends play to the advantage of Chinese vendors such as Huawei and ZTE, which we believe will come out of the crisis even stronger than their European and North American counterparts.
Despite an overall economic contraction, network operator spending on telecom equipment in the Asia/Pacific region will rise slightly over the next 24 months, driven primarily by deployment of 3G networks in China, according to this latest report.
Capex in Asia/Pacific: Driven by 3G in China, Spending to Rise Despite Global Downturn analyzes the drivers that make investing in infrastructure imperative for operators in Asia/Pacific. This 13-page report puts the revenue generated in Asia into a global context and looks at the plans for future capital expenditure (capex) in both developed and emerging markets in the region. The report also identifies and analyzes technology suppliers that are poised to win contracts in the competitive Asia/Pacific market. Three case studies on NTT DoCoMo, China Mobile, and Bharti Airtel focus on the capex plans of the main players in Japan, China, and India, providing metrics, such as capex, as a percentage of service revenue.
Despite anticipated declines in GDP for most countries in the Asia/Pacific region, operators throughout the region have stuck to their overall investment plans, with 4G and national broadband network investments leading the agenda, notes Tae-Hyung Kim, analyst at Pyramid Research and author of the report. 'Markets such as Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are seeing an ever-increasing appetite for higher-bandwidth applications on mobile networks and increasing mobile broadband adoption rates,' he says. 'On the fixed side, governments of these developed markets are pushing operators to improve fiber access to households. In fact, these governments view spending on telecommunication infrastructure as a prudent long-term investment.'
China's telecom operators will show the world's largest capex spending increases in 2009, Kim says. 'All three operators – China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom – are not only extending their 2G infrastructure to rural areas but also earmarking tens of billions of dollars for their new 3G networks,' he explains. 'These trends play to the advantage of Chinese vendors such as Huawei and ZTE.'
