Australia Telecoms Industry Statistics and Forecasts 2017 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Australia - Telecoms Industry - Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

This report covers recent developments related to a range of regulatory, infrastructural and competition issues in Australia's telecom market. It provides statistics from operators as well as data from a number of surveys undertaken in 2015 and 2016.

The report includes updates on recent progress with the build-out of the NBN, as well as updates on proposals governing wholesale access to NBN infrastructure, pricing, and revenue structures aimed at expanding services in rural areas. It also assesses plans to amend spectrum allocations and usage in a bid to improve broadband availability.

The report also rovides updated financial and operating data on the main telcos as well as the second-tier players.

The overall telecoms services revenue reached ver $42 billion in 2016, a growth of under 1% for the 12 months to June 2016. The overall market is predicted to grow at a stronger rate in 2017. The strongest growth is coming from the second tier providers, which grew at over 10% during that time period. The market incumbent Telstra (News - Alert) still dominates the local telco landscape with well over 50% market share, however this market share is gradually declining. Prices for fixed-line and mobile voice services are being driven down by competition among operators, and by consumer reluctance to tolerate price increases, which engenders higher churn to other providers. Thus opportunities to drive revenue growth through higher consumer and business spend in the short term are limited to mobile data services.
