South Africa Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report

Summary

South Africa: Country Intelligence Report, a new Country Intelligence Report by GlobalData, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in South Africa today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2024. Published annually, the 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, broadband, mobile, and pay-TV segments, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

GlobalData expects South Africa's total telecommunications and pay-TV services revenue to reach USD 11.2 billion in 2019 and it will grow at 2.0% CAGR to reach USD 12.4 billion by 2024, driven by growth in mobile data and fixed broadband segments. Fixed broadband revenue will grow at the fastest CAGR of 11.2% over 2019-2024, led by investments in SA Connect initiative by the government to improve broadband connectivity in the country. Pay-TV service revenue will decline from USD 1,330 million in 2019 to USD 1,320 million by 2024, due to declining pay-TV ARPS over the forecast period.

The Country Intelligence Report provides an in-depth analysis of the following -

- The demographic and macroeconomic context in South Africa.

- The regulatory environment and trends: a review of the regulatory setting and agenda for the next 18-24 months as well as relevant developments pertaining to spectrum licensing, national broadband plans, tariff regulation, and more.

- Mobile data will be the largest contributor in the total telecom service revenue throughout 2019-2024. Mobile data revenue will grow at a CAGR of 3.8% to reach USD 5.0 billion by 2024, driven by rising smartphone penetration and growing adoption of mobile Internet services.
