Some industry forecasts (1)
Through 2015, the U.S. will add more mobile subscriptions (about 80 million) than any other
developed nation with mobile revenue surpassing all fixed-line services by end of 2015,
according to a new report from Pyramid Research.
In a new report, Pyramid Research and Heavy Reading predicted that the global mobile
broadband market will reach 1 billion connections in 2012 as mobile operators invest billions in
spectrum and network infrastructure to deploy 4G networks.
The increasing use of mobile broadband applications is expected to drive the growth of
telecommunications companies in Southeast Asia, according to research firm Frost &
Sullivan. The firm found that data usage in this market, over seven Southeast Asian nations,
will grow to account for 40.4% or over $12.4 billion of total mobile revenue by end-2015, up
from 27.8% last year.
Mobile device sales in India are forecast to reach 138.6 million in 2010, an increase of 18.5%
over 2009 sales of 117 million units, according to Gartner. The mobile handset market is
expected to show steady growth through 2014 when end user sales surpass 206 million units

In 2015, 3.8 billion mobile handsets , over 60% of the installed base of mobile handsets
worldwide will contain mobile web browsers, according to a new study from ABI Research.
This is double today's penetration rate
A report from ABI Research said the use of mobile data is growing exponentially. The
market research firm predicted that data usage in North America and Western Europe is
expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 55% and 42%
respectively.
Mobile data usage continues to grow exponentially as 3G technology spreads globally.

According to ABI Research, from 2009 to 2015 data usage in Western Europe and North
America is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42% and
55% respectively. In 2010, the average North American user is expected to consume 159
megabytes of data, up from 100 megabytes in 2009.

In a new report "Chile: Mobile Data and Product Bundles Continue to Power Strong Growth”
by Research and Markets, Chile's telecom market will rebound with a 4.4% CAGR from 2010
through 2015, reaching $6.1bn, propelled by significant increases in fixed and mobile data
services. Mobile data service revenue in Chile will account for 23% of total service revenue by
2015, notes Sergio Cruz Zarate, Analyst at Large at Pyramid Research. "Revenue derived
from data services will increase from 24% in 2010 to 35% in 2015
A report published by Chetan Sharma Consulting, “Managing Growth and Profits in the
Yottabyte Era,” predicts that in 2010, mobile data traffic in the U.S. will exceed 1 exabytes (or
1 million terabytes) - a mobile data traffic milestone that the global industry as a whole
reached in 2009.
In a report by Analysys Mason on the CALA (Central and Latin America) telecoms market,
mobile data revenue from handsets will grow more than twice as fast as subscriptions, from
USD4.5 billion (EUR3.2 billion) in 2009 to USD10.6 billion (EUR7.6 billion) in 2014. Revenue
from mobile broadband will rise even faster, from USD1.4 billion (EUR1 billion) in 2009 to
USD6.4 billion (EUR4.6 billion) in 2009

According to a study by Cisco “Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast and Methodology, 2009-
2014 “, mobile data traffic is estimated to surge by as much as 39 times during the five year
period from 2009 to 2014. By 2014, the annual global mobile data traffic is expected to reach 3.5
exabytes per month i.e. a run rate of over 42 exabytes on a yearly basis. Mobile data traffic will
be the strongest in the Middle East and Africa followed by the Asia-Pacific and North America as
revenue from voice gets saturated and operators focus on alternate sources of revenue
Increased spectrum availability for wireless broadband is a top requirement to accommodate

data traffic growth. According to Cisco's VNI index, data traffic will grow 16 times and video
traffic 20 times by 2014 wireless broadband
"Expect to see smartphones accounting for a growing proportion of the wider mobile phone
market as they become increasingly affordable to more customers," Canalys senior analyst Pete
Cunningham said in a statement. "By 2013, smartphones will grow to represent over 27% of
shipments worldwide, with the proportion in some developed markets in western Europe
surpassing 60%, and 48% in North America.

 Ericsson has estimated that, by 2015, there will be 3.5 billion mobile broadband users around the world,
compared to the 500+ million that use it at present
 According to a recent Analysys Mason report, the total data traffic volume in 2015 will be more than 30 times that
of 2010. Operators will need to make capital investments to increase capacity in order to meet this demand
 According to In-Stat, “WCDMA-HSPA base stations will be the workhorses of wireless data networks”. 2009 saw
overall deployments of newly deployed macro base stations up 10% on 2008, driven by the rising demand for
smartphones and mobile broadband, meaning that most of the increase will have come from WCDMA-HSPA.
WCDMA-HSPA base stations will account for at least 50% of total revenue in this segment in 2009. By 2013
WCDMA-HSPA will contribute 70% of revenues in the sector
 ABI Research announced that shipments of mobile broadband-enabled consumer products, which includes e-
book readers, mobile digital cameras, camcorders, personal media players, personal navigation devices and mobile
gaming devices will increase 55-fold between 2008 and 2014 with total shipments reaching 58 million units per year
in 2014

Smartphones
According to a report by ABI Research on US mobile operator network traffic, smartphones

and connected computing devices will be the primary drivers of data traffic over the next five
years. By 2014, these device categories will generate more than 87% of total mobile
network data traffic for US operators. The report also states that growth of Android, iPhone
and similar smartphones will cause average smartphone traffic levels to grow by 48% over
the forecast period.
Led by the success of Android, Linux-enabled smartphones are expected to make up 33% of
the total worldwide smartphone market by 2015, according to a new report from ABI
Research. More than 60,000 smartphones are now shipping per day, with Android OS
leading the pack, notes the market researcher. Up to 127 million Linux-based smartphones
may be shipping by 2012.
