Asia-Pacific to Be Global Leader in LTE by 2014, Pyramid Finds

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LTE subscriptions in Asia-Pacific will top all other regions by 2014, with Japan and China as regional leaders; however LTE will take longer to gain scale in emerging Asia-Pacific markets, according to a new report from Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com).

Asia-Pacific to Be Global Leader in LTE by 2014 analyzes the market opportunity for LTE by looking at factors affecting operators' decisions to deploy LTE in the next several years across developed and emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, the motivations behind the trendsetters as opposed to the early majority, and the factors that might cause an operator not to deploy LTE in the next five years. This report gives our subscription forecasts and projected LTE capital expenditure amounts from selected operators.

"LTE networks will exhibit strong growth in Asia-Pacific in both developed markets and specific emerging markets, due to a combination of cost and competition considerations by operators and exponentially increasing data usage by consumers," says Pyramid Research analyst Emily Smith. LTE will be deployed first in developed markets, where more customers are willing to pay for better service, with wide-scale deployments in emerging markets expected after costs for equipment, devices and handsets begin to decrease. "Although the market share potential for LTE in emerging markets in the next five years is limited, due to their huge population Pyramid expects emerging markets to capture more than half of the LTE market share in Asia-Pacific by year-end 2016," Smith indicates.

Asia-Pacific to Be Global Leader in LTE by 2014 is part of Pyramid Research's Telecom Insider Report Series and is priced at $595.  Download an excerpt or purchase the report here.
