Myanmar: Country Intelligence Report

Summary

The telecom service revenue growth in Myanmar over 2018-2023 will be driven by the mobile data and fixed broadband segment. Mobile data will be the largest revenue-contributing segment by 2022 driven by rising smartphone penetration, rising consumption of data and increasing mobile broadband subscriptions. Going forward, operators will focus on offering data-centric services and invest in LTE/LTE-A infrastructure development and coverage expansion.

Broadband segment will witness investments in FTTx technology, supported by the government's universal service strategy to boost broadband penetration in the country and providing significant opportunities for vendors and investors in the coming years.
