Subscriber Growth In Vietnam's Mobile Market Stalls But Broadband Services Power On
This report profiles what has been a vibrant telecom market in Vietnam. By some measures the country is still in a comparatively early stage of its telecommunications development. However, Vietnam has for some years now been aggressively expanding its national infrastructure and growing its subscriber bases across all market segments. Progress in developing the mobile market has been especially impressive, although there has been a moderating of growth recently; and whilst the Internet market, and particularly the roll-out of broadband Internet, is still very much in an early stage of development, the last four years have seen a significant surge in the country's online access.Market Highlights:
- Vietnam's mobile market passed 165 million subscribers in early 2012, for a penetration of 183%.
- The country's annual growth rate in mobile subscribers ran at close to 40% in 2010 but was moderating sharply in 2011/2012 with annual growth falling to under 10%.
- In the 2007/2011 period the country's fixed broadband internet market has surged, jumping almost 300% to reach more than 4.5 million by end-2011.
- Overall fixed broadband penetration remained relatively low, however, at under 5% of population.
- Although interest in broadband services in Vietnam had finally picked up, much of the growth in 2011 and into 2012 was in mobile wireless broadband.
- Fixed-line subscriber numbers appeared to be stagnating in 2010/2011 and into 2012 (with some inconsistent figures continuing to come from the regulator).
- Following on from the successful launch of its Vinasat-1 satellite in early 2008, Vietnam was quickly moving towards the country's second venture into the satellite market, with Vinasat-2 on schedule for an April 2012 launch.
