Research and Markets: Japan - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vphz4b/japan_mobile_mar) has announced the addition of the "Japan - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

The overall Japanese mobile market remains in a dynamic period of activity, especially given the evident popularity of 3G services, now in its 10th year of operation. NTT DoCoMo still has a dominant market share, benefitting from its monopoly status years before. However, in close pursuit are KDDI, Softbank and smaller operator eMobile. While fighting for a bigger share in a saturated market, the operators continue to put more weight behind their data services to make up for declining revenue from phone calls. Softbank initially took advantage of its position as the sole carrier for the iPhone and the iPad in Japan. However, Android-based smartphones offered by the remaining operators have taken the market share lead.

This report provides an overview of Japanese mobile technologies and mobile data and content services. Providing extensive market, technology and operator based statistics, forecasting on mobile subscribers is also provided up to 2017.
