Peru's telecom market attracts investors
Thanks to liberal telecom regulations and one of the highest GDP growth rates in Latin America, Peru's telecom sector is a profitable investment target. The country's economic expansion has made it a star performer in Latin America, but problems persist. GDP per capita is still far lower than the regional average, inequality is high, and the indigenous populations live in abysmal conditions.
In 2010, Peru's telecom sector grew 13%, generating revenues of US$4.5 billion, and sales are likely to reach more than US$4.9 billion in 2011. Between 2011 and 2016, we see the market expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
The fastest growing telecom markets are mobile, broadband, and pay TV. Mobile broadband, in particular, has enormous growth potential in Peru, where it is able to fulfil a need that the fixed infrastructure has been unable to satisfy. While mobile subscribers have passed the 100% penetration milestone, fixed teledensity is only 10%.
Market Highlights:
- Telefónica del Perú has adopted the group's mobile brand name, Movistar, to market all of its fixed-line services – including pay TV, which has been re-branded from Cable Mágico to Movistar TV.
- Telmex Perú and Claro Perú, previously sister companies, have been consolidated at the shareholder level and use the same brand name, Claro, for all services – whether fixed or mobile.
- Movistar's fixed lines in service are shrinking while Claro's are posting double-digit growth rates.
- Mobile penetration has crossed the 100% milestone.
- Mobile market growth is driven by postpaid customers, mobile broadband, and smartphones.
- To decrease the use of mobile phones for criminal activities, prepaid mobile users have had to register their SIM cards, and almost one million unregistered users had their phones cut off in March 2011.The Peruvian government is planning to auction spectrum for LTE services.
- Vietnam's Viettel is entering the Peruvian mobile market and has plans to invest US$250 million in a fibre-optic network.
- Virgin Mobile aims to launch Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services in Peru.
- Perusat, a subsidiary of ChinaTel, is rolling out a nationwide WiMAX (LTE-Ready) network.
- Russia's Yota has promised to cover 12 regions of Peru with a WiMAX network.
- The regulator Osiptel has adopted differentiated interconnection charges for rural areas.
