Pyramid Research expects the telecom market to grow at a CAGR of only 1.6 percent over the next five years, to $15.1 billion in 2014. The current high penetration rates of an estimated 106.6 percent for mobile users will result in South Africa being one of the slowest growing markets in the region. Pyramid Research estimates that the mobile segment generated 72 percent of total market revenue in 2009, propelled by mobile voice and data, notes Badii Kechiche, Senior Analyst and co-author of this report. 'Mobile voice will continue to generate most of the segment's revenue, specifically mobile data; driven by mobile email and mobile broadband Internet services, we anticipate mobile data revenue will grow from $1.4 billion in 2009 to $2.2 billion in 2014, a CAGR of 9.4 percent,' he says.
'A number of undersea and land-based cable projects will provide much-needed extra capacity for operators to offer IP services at more affordable prices, thus capturing a wider population,' explains Kechiche. 'As a result, we expect broadband Internet revenue to grow from $369 million in 2009 to $740 million in 2014, a CAGR of 14.9 percent,' he adds. 'These projects create ample opportunities for vendors and investors in the South African market. Operators are heavily investing in mobile broadband technologies, upgrading their networks to compete in the vital mobile data segment.'
