Czech Republic: Country Intelligence Report

Summary

"Czech Republic: Country Intelligence Report," a new Country Intelligence Report by the author, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in the Czech Republic today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2024. Published annually, the report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile, and pay-TV segments, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

Telecom service revenue growth in the Czech Republic over 2019-2024 will be supported by mobile data, fixed broadband, and pay-TV segments. Mobile voice will be the largest revenue-contributing segment in 2019. However, the mobile data segment will take the lead from 2022 onward, to account for 53.4% of total revenue by 2024, mainly driven by rising data ARPU and M2M subscriptions. In addition, growth will be supported by rising average data consumption led by MNO’s data-centric postpaid offers. The fixed broadband segment will be supported by the adoption of fiber and cable services and operators’ promotion of fixed broadband bundled services. The pay-TV segment will witness a steady steady subscription growth in DTH, cable, and IPTV segments.
