Market Research Reports, Inc. has announced the addition of “France, Kenya, Malaysia and Poland Telecommunications Report Q4 2016” research report to their website www.MarketResearchReports.com

Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 09/12/2016 --As part of their deepening strategies, French operators, all of them being converged, are looking to migrate customers onto 4G and fibre networks in order to improve loyalty and monetise data services. Orange dominates both markets, especially in terms of fibre, where it has invested the most and owns the largest network - which might lead to future regulatory intervention to ensure greater competition.

The LTE market is more balanced, with new spectrum helping all operators in the country.

Key Data

- According to Arcep, there were 49.671mn mobile data users in the market at the end of Q116, of which 24.544mn were 4G subscribers.

- The fixed voice market ended Q116 with 38.976mn subscriptions, of which 26.638mn were based on IP services and the remainder on legacy PSTN networks.

- There were over 4.507mn Very-High-Speed Broadband subscriptions at the end of Q116, of which 1.585mn were on fibre networks.

We hold our positive outlook for the Kenyan mobile market in our Q416 quarterly report update and have once again made some positive forecast revisions, based on the higher than anticipated growth in the first half of 2016. Strong mobile market growth will be supported by low penetration rates, currently around 82.9%. Airtel has made significant investments into developing 4G services in the country and the operator is poised to launch its high-speed data service to rival the primacy of Safaricom this year. Airtel is set to release its 4G service before the end of 2016 and we are of the opinion that Orange will follow suit in 2017. Mobile financial services, in particular, will be a key driver for both subscription and revenue growth. However, we remain watchful of recent consolidation in the market, strong competition in the wireline sector, and Helios's acquisition of a 70% stake in Telkom Kenya. Furthermore, we are still of the opinion that the completed digital migration will free up new spectrum, easing the response to growth in the data market.

Latest Updates And Industry Developments

- The Kenyan mobile market grew by 9.2% y-o-y by the end of H116, with total subscribers reaching over 39.4mn.

- Airtel is set to launch its 4G LTE service in the country before the end of 2016 as it desperately seeks to compete with the growing primacy of Safaricom. Orange is expected to launch their high-speed data service in 2017.

- The regulator is planning to issue 4G spectrum concessions in the 800MHz band to all three operators before the end of August 2016 for a fee of approximately USD25mn each. The regulator envisions equitable holdings of the 800MHz spectrum by all three major operators to ensure healthy competition in the market for high-speed data.

Telenor's acquisition of Prabhu Money Transfer fits with the operator's strategy of buying licensed financial services institutions in key regional markets. Regulatory and consumer code compliance competencies are needed by telecoms operators that establish a direct presence in the mobile financial services (MFS) space, so this deal will strengthen Telenor's appeal in some highly competitive markets. A stronger MFS business would help Telenor attract and retain customers and encourage them to make greater use of their smartphones.

Latest Updates & Industry Developments

- Mobile subscriptions reached 44.111mn by the end of 2015, a penetration rate of 147.0%. Market leaders Maxis, DiGi and Celcom have outperformed smaller players, despite further winnowing-out of inactive prepaid subscriptions (a net loss of 233,000 was seen in 2015). Subscriptions will reach 47.54mnnb by 2020.

The deployment of next-generation infrastructure is driving usage of premium non-voice services as well as complex, multi-screen converged services in Poland. Orange, Netia and Cyfrowy Polsat are benefiting to varying degrees. Although our outlook on the uptake of 3G/4G services is optimistic, the bids for spectrum in the auctions will temper any return on investment strategies, with a commensurate impact on pricing that will have to be borne by operators and end-users alike.

Latest Updates And Industry Developments

- The mobile market contracted sharply in H116 as more than 1.8mn subscriptions were shed. Orange and P4 (Play) performed well, signalling good underlying growth prospects deriving from customer deepening strategies. We forecast 53.423mn mobile subscriptions by 2020.

- Mobile expansion is being driven by 3G/4G migration. We forecast 48.364mn subscriptions by 2020, or 90.5% of the overall market, but the rate of growth will depend on operators' capex strategies as outlays on spectrum will weigh on their inclination to invest in networks.
