DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/92332d/switzerland_teleco) has announced the addition of the "Switzerland Telecommunications Report Q3 2011" report to their offering.
Business Monitor International's Switzerland Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Switzerland's telecommunications industry.
BMI's Q311 update to the Swiss telecoms market report has included the introduction of a five-year ARPU forecast in the industry forecast section of BMI's report. It also contains analysis of trends in the Swiss telecoms market using full-year 2010 figures based on market data published by major service providers Swisscom, Orange Switzerland and UPC Switzerland (Cablecom). The Federal Communications Commission has not published any update to market data since the end of June 2010.
The Swiss mobile market recorded slower growth in 2010 than previously expected. According to market data from market leader Swisscom and third-ranked Orange Switzerland, as well as BMI estimates for Sunrise, the market grew by 3.9% y-o-y in 2010 to reach 9.385mn.
BMI notes the market grew by 9.2% in 2007, 6.6% in 2008 and 4.5% in 2009. The steady decline in the rates of growth is indicative of the growing impact of market saturation and the discounting of inactive lines by operators. With mobile penetration hovering about 120%, BMI expect annual growth rates to stay below 3% for the most part of the next five years. By 2015 BMI expect the number of mobile subscribers to reach 10.7mn, reflecting a penetration rate of 136%. BMI expects higher value services on postpaid subscriptions to drive growth in the future.
This will have a positive impact on ARPU, which BMI expect to stabilise over the medium term. BMI's newly introduced ARPU forecast for the Swiss market will remain above CHF40 by the end of 2015, making it one of the highest in Western Europe.
