Saudi Arabia Telecommunications Report Q4 2015 - New Market Report

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.

The biggest growth area in Saudi Arabia's telecoms market is high-value services for corporate and individual customers. This view is supported by operators' financial and operational results, which show a strong uptake of next generation mobile and wireline data services as well as convergence services. Mobile revenues, meanwhile, are likely to come under further pressure following the entry of the first mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) to the country. This is likely to erode ARPUs of the established operators further.

Key Data

Mobile subscriptions will fluctuate, remaining between 49mn and 50mn for the duration of our 2015-2019 forecast period.

The fixed-line market will continue to decline, falling to 4.73mn by 2019.

Mobile broadband will drive the bulk of the broadband market's growth, pushing penetration to 67.5% by 2019.

Key Trends And Developments

In early 2015, the regulator, CITC, announced a 40% mobile termination rate cut. A move that is bound to support Zain, the smallest operator in the kingdom's mobile market that has yet to turn a profit since its start of operations in 2008. This move is likely to force competitive pressures on the two larger operators: Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Mobily Ventures as they will have to compete harder to defend their market share.

Mobily remains embroiled in a financial and managerial scandal that is forcing the organisation to reshape its strategic outlook. With the prosecutor looking into criminal charges for stock price manipulation and insider trading, Mobily's troubles are far from over as nine top executives face criminal charges.
