2016 will witness greater focus on fixed-mobile convergence services as faster than anticipated take up of 4G in 2015 - as a result of government mandated price-cuts and infrastructure-sharing efforts - will lead to greater fixed broadband adoption to complement the use of mobile data networks. Operators will continue to incentivise 4G adoption and upselling subscribers through value-added services (VAS), such as video streaming, and multiplay bundles can help boost profit margins.

Latest Updates & Industry Developments

The MIIT reports that total 3G and 4G subscribers reached 808.64 mn in 20 15, a 34% growth y-o-y. Subscriber numbers released by individual operators show that market leader China Mobile leads the race with an 80.9% share of the 4G market, whilst China Unicom and China Telecom have shares of 4.0% and 15.1% respectively. We believe 3G/ 4G subscribers will rise to 942.63 bn in 2016.

The expansion of fixed broadband networks will be supported by the government through funding and opening up of the sector to private competitors. This will lead to the growth in broadband subscribers from 213.37mn at end-2015 to 271.43mn by 2019, though subscriber growth will be outstripped by mobile data.
