Vietnam - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts Published on August 2011
Report Summary Coming into 2011 the 'hot' Vietnam telecoms market appeared to stall prompting questions about the length of 'pause' and overall future directionThis Annual Publication profiles the vibrant telecom market in Vietnam. The energy and creativity of this market have been attracting considerable attention. By some measures the country is still in a comparatively early stage of its telecommunications development. However, Vietnam has been aggressively expanding its national infrastructure and growing its subscriber bases across all market segments. Progress in developing the mobile market has been especially impressive; and whilst the Internet market, and particularly the roll-out of broadband Internet, is still very much in the early development phase, the last three years have seen a significant surge in the country's online access. Another year of 40% mobile subscriber growth, combined with healthy expansion of broadband internet and consolidation of the fixed line market, meant that 2010 was business as usual for the Vietnam telecom sector. However, the first half of 2011 suggested the initial signs of a slowing market. Mobile subscriber expansion stalled and, most significantly, there was a serious slowing of growth in fixed broadband services. Whilst the mobile market was certainly nearing saturation, the speed with which the slow down seemed to occur was particularly striking. The market will no doubt be watched closely to see what happens next. In recent years the revitalised telecom sector in Vietnam became the target for a fresh round of investor interest. Even in the wake of the global financial crisis numerous foreign telcos were turning their attention to this most significant of South East Asian markets. The market continues to attract high investor interest. It is generally agreed that the country has come out of a period of wishful thinking ' based on the belief that it could 'go it alone.' The government has overseen the introduction of a level of competition into the telecoms market and this, combined with a generally improved economic climate within the country, has triggered a round of strong growth in the telecom sector. A significant milestone in this changing business environment was Vietnam's accession to the WTO in 2007. More recently the move to allow an increased level of 'equitisation' (the Vietnamese government's word for 'privatisation') has sent a clear message to investors that the rules are changing in a positive way and the investment door has been opened. There is, however, some concern that these equitisation plans have not yet been acted upon. Nor is it completely clear what form the government's involvement in the telecom sector will take in the future. While there has been strong growth in Vietnam's mobile sector (around 160 million subscribers early in 2011 for a penetration of almost 180%), the country's fixed-line subscriber growth has not been so impressive. With the government seeming to be hedging somewhat on reporting fixed-line statistics, this market segment has been struggling to a certain degree over the last few years. It seems that growth has now flattened out. This is not to underestimate the fixed line infrastructure that has been put in place. The excellent national coverage already achieved is indeed impressive. In the meantime, the government continues to take a cautious position to the Internet; government reticence has not, however, stopped the online market from moving along a solid growth path. Internet user penetration was estimated at an impressive 33% in early 2011. The broadband segment was growing strongly, although, into 2011 much of the growth was in mobile wireless broadband rather than fixed broadband. Market highlights Vietnam's mobile market had reached 158 million subscribers by March 2011 for a penetration of 176%.The country's annual growth rate in mobile subscribers was running at close to 40% in 2010 but moderated sharply into 2011 with growth for the year likely to be under 10%.In the 2007/2010 period the country's fixed broadband internet market had grown strongly, jumping 200% to reach more than 3.6 million by end-2010.Overall fixed broadband penetration remained relatively low, however, at just 4% of population.Although interest in broadband services in Vietnam had finally picked up, fixed broadband growth suffered a setback in the first half of 2011.By contrast, mobile wireless broadband saw strong growth into 2011.Fixed-line subscriber numbers appeared to be stagnating in 2010/2011 (with some inconsistent figures coming from the regulator).Following on from the successful launch of its Vinasat-1 satellite in early 2008, Vietnam was already moving towards the country's second venture into the satellite market, with the 2012
