The Central and Eastern Europe telecoms market: trends and forecasts 2019–2024
Mobile service revenue will account for 67% of the total telecoms service revenue in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 2024. 5G revenue is expected to account for around 41% of the total mobile service revenue by 2024. Fixed broadband and specialist business service revenue will be crucial for revenue growth in the fixed segment. Both revenue streams will increase at a similar CAGR of 2.6% between 2018 and 2024. Fixed network operators will be looking for opportunities to reduce infrastructure costs, and fibre network roll-outs will continue across the region.
The expansion of LTE and LTE-A networks and increasing mobile data usage will be key drivers of the total telecoms revenue growth.
THIS REPORT AND ASSOCIATED DATA ANNEX PROVIDE:
- a 5-year forecast of more than 330 mobile and fixed KPIs for CEE, as a whole and for 16 key countries
- an in-depth analysis of the trends, drivers and forecast assumptions for each type of mobile and fixed service, and for the key countries
- an overview of operator strategies and country-specific topics, in order to highlight similarities and differences by means of a cross-country comparison
- a summary of results, key implications and recommendations for mobile and fixed operators.
<div>8.Executive summary and recommendations<br /> Telecoms service revenue growth will be driven by the demand for data and the monetisation of network investments<br /> The rate of telecoms retail revenue growth mainly depends on LTE network expansions, NGA network investments and fixed broadband service take-up <br /> Geographical coverage: the share of NGA connections will increase to 84%, and the 4G/5G share of mobile connections will exceed 85% in 2024<br /> Key trends, drivers and assumptions for the mobile and fixed markets<br /> Key recommendations for telecoms operators<br /> Regional forecasts and cross-country comparison<br /> Market context: the pace of economic growth may start to fall in CEE<br /> Key mergers, acquisitions and market entries<br /> Key drivers at a glance for each Central and Eastern Europe market<br /> Market overview: fixed broadband and mobile handset data services will remain the largest areas for revenue growth <br /> Mobile: the total number of mobile connections will decline by 2024 due to market saturation and migration from multi-SIM prepaid plans to contract services<br /> Mobile: penetration in CEE will plateau, mainly due to market saturation<br /> Mobile: mobile ARPU will increase in CEE, stimulated by LTE expansions and the associated increase in data usage<br /> Mobile: the outlook for mobile ARPU and handset revenue is positive thanks to increasing LTE-A coverage and the growing adoption of contract subscriptions</div>
<div>
<div>23.Fixed: over 60% of households in CEE will have an active NGA broadband connection in 2024</div>
<div>24.Fixed: NGA network roll-outs and attractive bundled offers will support broadband household penetration growth across the region<br /> Fixed: increasing broadband household penetration and NGA service take-up will help operators to maintain reasonably stable ASPU levels<br /> Fixed: the increasing coverage of high-speed broadband networks will help operators to maintain broadband revenue growth<br /> Specialist business services: operators’ business services revenue growth will slow down towards the end of the forecast<br /> IoT: the largest share of IoT revenue in CEE will come from the automotive sector<br /> Pay TV: traditional services will account for the majority of pay-TV revenue growth in CEE, but operator OTT revenue will grow rapidly, while that from DTH declines <br /> Individual country forecasts<br /> Czech Republic: the expected entry of a fourth mobile player will cause mobile revenue to decline slightly from 2022 onwards<br /> Czech Republic: fixed-wireless will remain the most popular fixed broadband technology, but the number of fibre subscribers will grow rapidly<br /> Czech Republic: the mobile market is relatively uncompetitive but this is likely to change following the introduction of a new mobile operator<br /> Czech Republic: forecast changes<br /> Poland: fixed broadband revenue will increase, but the total market revenue growth will be limited by strong competition in the mobile segment<br /> Poland: operators’ investments in NGA networks will slow down towards the end of the forecast period</div>
<div>
<div>37.Poland: investments in infrastructure will allow operators to maintain ASPU levels despite the high competitive pressure</div>
<div>38.Poland: forecast changes<br /> Russia: strong revenue growth from mobile connectivity and fixed broadband will help to offset declining revenue from legacy services<br /> Russia: the NGA share of all broadband connections will reach 95% by 2024<br /> Russia: mobile and broadband revenue will grow modestly due to enhancements in service quality and favourable macroeconomic conditions<br /> Russia: forecast changes<br /> Turkey: mobile data usage will be the major driver of revenue growth, followed by broadband services<br /> Turkey: the high mobile ASPU will be maintained due to growth in the take-up of mobile data services<br /> Turkey: increasing fibre household penetration and expanding LTE network coverage will help to maintain the high broadband and mobile ASPU<br /> Turkey: forecast changes<br /> Methodology<br /> Our forecast model is supported by sound market knowledge<br /> Examples of forecast input drivers<br /> Key drivers at a glance table: methodology [1]<br /> Key drivers at a glance table: methodology [2]<br /> About the authors and Analysys Mason<br /> About the authors</div>
