Executive Summary
The Saudi telecom sector is the largest in the Middle East, with over 56.0 mn
mobile subscribers and over SAR77.0 bn in consolidated revenues. After staying
dormant until 2000, the sector recorded supernormal growth in the past decade,
thanks largely to liberalization of the sector since 2003. Today, the sector is highly
competitive, with private players vying for market share by aggressively cutting
tariffs—in fact, this has been the trend for five years now. The voice market is fast
approaching maturity, with total mobile penetration reaching 198.0% during 2011.
We expect the traditional Voice segment to grow moderately, given that penetration
is already high and competition is intense. However, there is scope for penetration
to increase beyond 200.0%.
The Data segment is expected to emerge as a new area of growth for Saudi telecom
operators, especially since the traditional voice market is maturing fast. The
Kingdom’s young and tech-centric demographics, the rising craze for smart
devices, and relatively high income levels should drive data consumption. Demand
for smart phones is also catching on rapidly in Saudi Arabia, with penetration
increasing from 17.0% in 2010 to 25.0% in 2011.
Another key impetus for growth in the Data segment is the rising demand for
broadband services. Despite strong growth, broadband penetration continues to
remain comparatively low in Saudi Arabia. Standard mobile broadband penetration
in the Kingdom stood at 9.7% in 2010, significantly low compared to the
developed markets average of 56.6% and the global average of 17.0%. Fixed
broadband penetration was also low at 6.3% compared to developed markets
(25.7%) and the world (8.5%). Strong growth in broadband usage coupled with a
surge in 3G and 4G services is likely to increase demand for high-speed data
consumption and (consequently) drive data revenues. Data revenue is expected to
constitute 25.0% of Saudi telecom operators’ total revenue by 2014 compared to
15.0% in 2011. We expect Mobily to be the clear market leader in this segment
primarily due to its focused strategy aiming at capturing fast growing mobile
broadband market. STC would remain competitive in the fixed broadband market
primarily owing to its strong fixed line network infrastructure.
The Enterprise segment is quickly emerging as a new area of focus for Saudi
telecom operators. The segment is currently highly underserved compared to some
European and developed countries. Saudi Arabia’s robust macroeconomic
fundamentals and stable growth outlook are likely to spur the establishment of new
businesses. This coupled with the growing need for sophistication and better
operational efficiency amongst Saudi companies, especially SMEs, bodes well for
the Enterprise segment. Operators providing one-stop solutions stand a better
chance of gaining a competitive advantage in the Enterprise segment, especially
while catering to large corporate accounts. We expect STC to have competitive
advantage over other operators in the enterprise segment. The company’s ability to
cater larger corporate account via fully integrated and bundled offerings that
include fixed and mobile voice, fixed and mobile broadband, internet, dataand ICT
services could prove to be a key differentiating factor. To support the increased
data potential, telecom operators are investing heavily to upgrade their
technological infrastructure. STC launched 4G mobile services in partnership with
Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei for commercial use in Saudi Arabia in late
2011. Zain also signed partnership agreements with Motorola, Ericsson, and
Huawei to offer LTE services in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. It plans to expand
to other major cities by the end of 2012.
