Key Findings

In 2014, Ireland’s telecom services market generated US$3.3bn in service revenue, or 1.3% of GDP, making Ireland one of the smallest markets in Western Europe (WE). We expect to see overall service revenue grow at a 4.3% CAGR from 2015 to 2020 to $3.2bn.
Competition in the Irish telecom market has intensified in the past three years as a result of the reorganization of the sector following the economic crisis. In June 2014, 3 Ireland acquired O2 Ireland for $885.7bn (€850.0m), becoming the country’s leading mobile phone operator both in terms of subscriptions and revenue. UPC has announced plans to offer mobile voice and data services in 2015 in association with 3 Ireland. This will allow the cable operator to launch quad-play service bundles across the country.
The increasing uptake of LTE and NGA networks across the country will create an opportunity for operators to offer new value-added services and media content. Bundling these services in an innovative way will be key to competing effectively in the market, particularly as quad-play service bundles become more widely available. Moreover, with data traffic growing rapidly, investments in NGN networks will continue to present opportunities for vendors in the 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE and NGA (VDSL, cable and FTTx) segments.

The Report New Zealand: Fiber-Optic Broadband Initiatives and LTE Expansion to Accelerate Data Services Growth provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. - MarketResearchReports.biz

Synopsis
‘New Zealand: Fiber-Optic Broadband Initiatives and LTE Expansion to Accelerate Data Services Growth,’ a new Country Intelligence Report by Pyramid Research, offers a precise, incisive profile of New Zealand’s mobile and fixed telecommunications and mobile markets based on comprehensive proprietary data and insights from our research in the New Zealand market. Published annually, this presentation-quality, executive-level report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband and mobile sectors, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/238800

Summary

In 2014, New Zealand will generate an estimated overall telecom service revenue of $4.3bn or 2.3% of GDP, an increase of 2.0% over the previous year. Although mobile voice is expected to be the largest revenue segment, the prime growth contributor will be the mobile data segment.
Overall service revenue will grow moderately at a CAGR of 1.0% over the 2014-2019 period, and the overall revenue split will be inclined toward mobile services (52.4% in 2019), due to revenue growth in mobile data services. 2014 saw LTE network launches or upgrades from all three of the nation’s mobile operators.
The top two operators, Spark and Vodafone New Zealand, which provide fixed, mobile and pay-TV services, account for 69.2% of total telecom service revenue in 2014. Incumbent Spark is the market leader in fixed voice and Internet segments, and the mobile segment is led by Vodafone New Zealand. Operators continue to explore new opportunities through new services launches as well as strategic partnerships and acquisitions.
Adoption of 3G technologies is expected to peak at 98.0% in 2015, after which we expect a decline as subscribers switch to LTE services. Market leader Vodafone New Zealand launched the country’s first 4G LTE services in the 1800MHz band in Auckland in February 2013. Pyramid Research expects total LTE subscriptions to reach 3.7m by 2019, owing to the strong commitment by operators to increase their 4G coverage.
The total number of fixed access lines is expected to increase marginally over 2013-2014 to reach 3.2m. Overall growth in the xDSL and FTTx segments was negated by the continued decline in the PSTN segment. High-speed broadband access services will witness increased demand. Fixed wholesale access pricing regulation is a key factor in the market and will impact fixed operators’ offers in 2015. Pyramid Research expects fiber to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period, growing from 6.3% of total lines in 2014 to 26.4% in 2019, driven by the government’s broadband initiatives and operators’ broadband plans.
Over the next five years, operators should seize opportunities in the LTE and FTTx space by offering data packages and bundled services over fiber for multiplay offerings. Vendors should position themselves for providing device and content services, the demand for which should increase in the coming years as the adoption of LTE services increases.

Review of FTTH/B Deployments service providers in Asia Pacific - examines network technology, deployment and investment trends

The Report FTTH/B Deployments in Asia Pacific - Keys to Enhancing Service Availability, Proposition and Uptake provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. - MarketResearchReports.biz

'FTTH/B Deployments in Asia Pacific: Keys to Enhancing Service Availability, Proposition and Uptake,' a Research Report by Pyramid Research, analyzes last-mile technology adoption trends and network deployment strategies, investments, stakeholders and best practices in the Asia Pacific region. The report also explores FTTx service positioning and pricing strategies as well as adoption and revenue trends across the region's diverse market environment, taking into consideration the impact of LTE availability on FTTx network investments. The report includes case studies of Australia's NBN and its wholesale partners, China Telecom, Korean incumbent KT and Telekom Malaysia.

View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/229512

Key Findings

Asia Pacific (APAC) is the leading region for adoption of FTTH/B-based broadband services with an estimated total of 117.4m lines in 2014, or over 68% of global broadband lines. FTTH/B comprises 34% of the region's broadband accounts in 2014, and will account for more than half by 2018. The main driver of FTTH/B network expansion in the APAC region is governmental involvement, as a financial backer as well as a partner in the development of a robust ecosystem of market players, products and services as well as the creation of awareness for fiber-based services.
We have identified three approaches to network deployment in the region: service provider-led deployments, public-private partnerships and government-led deployments. The latter two models, resulting in open-access networks, will lead the next wave of growth in FTTH/B broadband lines in the region.
FTTH/B has seen highest penetration in developed markets, with Hong Kong and South Korea boasting the world's highest household penetration rates, but there are a bevy of fiber deployment projects underway in emerging markets in the region including China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. China presents the largest deployment scale in the region, reaching 200m homes by 2015.
Despite the disparity in overall fiber uptake in the region, operators have largely done well in selecting areas for network deployment, boasting take-rates of over 40%.
Growth opportunities are ripe in the enterprise market, particularly the SME market, for FTTx-based solutions including connectivity as well as cloud-based, hosted applications. While LTE poses a competitive threat for FTTx-based broadband access and has led to revised investment plans for FTTH/B networks, increased mobile data traffic presents a revenue opportunity: FTTx can be positioned as a backhaul solution for 3G / 4G base stations (Fiber to the antenna [FTTA]) and Wi-Fi hotspots.

Synopsis

“FTTH/B Deployments in Asia Pacific: Keys to Enhancing Service Availability, Proposition and Uptake,' a Research Report by Pyramid Research, is an assessment of FTTH/B deployments, service offerings and performance in the APAC region to date identifying what works and what doesn't and providing strategic insight for a growing market opportunity.

Japanese incumbent NTT was the first operator in the APAC region to invest in a FTTH/B network beginning in 2000. The region has come a long way since then, with deployments across developed and emerging countries in the region driving up the total FTTH/B lines to 117m in 2014, 34% of the total broadband lines. As fiber technology and deployment costs drop, expect operators across the region to roll out faster fiber connections and expand network coverage to satisfy expected consumer traffic over the medium and long term.

Devices for the Wrist - Ecosystems Crucial to Growth of Connected Watches and Bands:MarketResearchReports.biz

The Report Devices for the Wrist - Ecosystems Crucial to Growth of Connected Watches and Bands provides information on pricing, market analysis, shares, forecast, and company profiles for key industry participants. - MarketResearchReports.biz

Devices for the Wrist: Ecosystems Crucial to Growth of Connected Watches and Bands,” a Research Report by Pyramid Research, examines the high growth opportunity which wrist-worn wearable technologies provide, how the ecosystem is developing, positioning strategies of the key industry players, and the launched and announced products to date. The report provides 5-year projections for shipments and revenue by device segment and global installed base. The analysis is built around Pyramid's wrist-worn product database of over 70 models, mobile industry forecasts as well as end-user research conducted across several Western European countries and a global survey of over 200 industry players.

View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/229371

Key Findings

Following several decades of false starts, wrist-worn technology is becoming an enormous new opportunity: shipments for wrist-worn devices are expected to grow by nearly sevenfold in 2014 and threefold in the following year. Technology developments, high smartphone penetration rates, new applications and the availability of well-designed, easy-to-use devices are some of the key drivers behind this growth.
The variety of products available has ballooned, with different designs, capabilities and brands, but the entry of Apple into the market in 2015 will be the key catalyst for growth.
Manufacturers face multiple challenges in developing a smart watch that is attractively designed and balances functionality with the right combination of user interfaces. Furthermore, there is an inherent trade-off between functionality and battery life: typically, technology vendors such as Apple and Samsung favor functionality and have had to develop innovative ways in which the user can interact with the device. Traditional watch manufacturers such as Casio and Citizen prioritize battery life and limit functionality. In between are a broad range of different possibilities to meet different needs and tastes.
There remains significant potential for product development and improvement, particularly as the chipset and technology suppliers improve their products, with a particular focus on improving battery life.
Highly functional smart watches will be dominated by the existing smartphone platforms, but there are also opportunities for devices with lower functionality, particularly for the traditional watch manufacturers, for whom typically design comes above functionality.
Fitness and health applications will be a key driver for wearables. Many large technology companies are looking at cloud based health services as an important new revenue opportunity.
Bluetooth is the connectivity technology of choice today; Wi-Fi drains batteries quickly but enables independent connectivity and could introduce new opportunities, particularly for mobile operators. We expect that NFC will make the biggest impact, opening the door to new applications, particularly in the areas of access control, loyalty, payments and travel.
By 2019, we are projecting shipments to grow by 13-fold from its 2014 level, with more than 10% of the global population wearing a connected wrist-worn device. While the market is expected to be triggered by the Apple Watch, at the same time lower cost devices will also drive the market as chipset and component prices fall; furthermore, the price of connected bands will fall dramatically as new business models become established.
