Regional Markets:
KMI Corporation
Market Study May 2004
The collapse in telecom markets in 2000 through 2003 was felt worldwide, but one region fared far better than others: the Asia-Pacific. While global telecom capex fell 46 percent from 2000 to 2002, capex in Asia-Pacific fell just 26 percent. And spending in this region in 2003 and 2004 is beginning the recovery process.
In this new report, KMI examines telecom capital expenditures and fiber deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. The report highlights seven specific country markets that account for more than 88 percent of region's telecom spending. It forecasts telecom growth in each of those countries through 2005 and total fiber demand through 2008.
Capex to Revenue Ratio, Developing & Developed Asia-Pacific Economies
Telecom capex spending is not uniform across economies in the Asia-Pacific. KMI's report distinguishes capex in the developed Asia-Pacific markets (Japan, Taiwan, Korea), whose network operators have capex-to-revenue ratios comparable to US and European operators, from developing markets, where the ratio is more than twice as high due to the need to build basic telecom infrastructure.
The report also examines recent trends in wireless relative to wireline teledensity. For most countries in the region, the number of wireless subscribers now exceed wireline subscribers.
Major sections of the report include:
- Regional overview of trends in telecom capital expenditures and fiber deployment in Asia-Pacific, including demand drivers.
- Profiles and forecasts of capital expenditures and fiber demand in seven key Asia-Pacific economies: China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
- Each profile discusses the economic climate, the telecom industry, major network operators, domestic telecom equipment vendors, fiber deployment, and telecom capex.
Who will benefit from the report?
- business development and marketing executives at firms manufacturing fiber, cable, optical networking equipment, or related products;
- venture capital firms, lenders, and other investors that are involved in fiberoptics or advanced telecommunications technologies;
- managers of R&D, engineering, or other technology development groups that need to know the five-year outlook for fiberoptic installations.
