Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/13/2014 -- 'Belgium: Despite Slow Regulatory Changes Mobile Data Expected to Boom' a new Country Intelligence Report by Pyramid Research, offers a precise, incisive profile of Belgium's mobile and fixed telecommunications and pay-TV markets based on comprehensive proprietary data and insights from our research in the Belgian market. Published annually, this presentation-quality, executive-level 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 and broadband, mobile and pay-TV sectors, in addition to a review of key regulatory trends.

Key Findings

- Pyramid Research projects that the Belgian telecom industry will generate revenue of US$8.8bn in 2014. The largest contribution will come from the mobile data segment. The top two operators, Belgacom and Mobistar, which provide fixed, mobile, Internet and pay-TV services, will account for 64.7% of overall service revenue in 2014. Pyramid Research expects to see overall service revenue grow at a 0.4% CAGR from 2014 to 2019.

- The 2014 fixed/mobile revenue split is inclined toward mobile and will shift further by 2019. Mobile revenue will increase as users substitute mobile voice services for traditional fixed voice. Additionally, increasing demand for mobile data services will drive mobile market revenue even further past fixed market revenue. LTE will be by far the dominant technology, accounting for 78.9% of mobile subscriptions by 2019.

- Over the next five years, operators should seize opportunities in the LTE marketplace, as mobile data is the largest revenue segment and will continue to grow over the forecast period. The Belgian government auctioned off LTE spectrum in the 800MHz band in late 2013. Opportunities also exist in the IPTV segment, which we predict will have an 8.7% revenue CAGR over the forecast period.
