Summary Over the past decade India's mobile sector has developed a sustained momentum, aided by higher subscriber volumes, lower tariffs and falling handset prices. There had been a major push to take mobile services into the poorer and rural areas of the country, a move that inevitably weighed down on ARPU. India's mobile market dominates the local telecom sector with its large subscriber base and revenue numbers, as well as the huge capital investment by operators. It has continued to be a highly competitive market in which a number of major players together with a larger number of smaller players have been battling to increase market share. www.marketreportsonindia.com

Kazakhstan's mobile market has experienced very strong growth over the last five years. Mobile penetration has risen from 72% in 2011 to 81% in 2016. The market remains highly competitive, but rather than a focus only on growth in subscribers the market is shifting to value-added. The roll-out of 4G / LTE services is driving significant shift to mobile data services across the country. Much will depend on the continuing resilience of the economy in India, with any drop in economic performance quickly triggering a drop in demand for mobile services. Further strong growth predicted over the next five years to 2021. By that year the market will reach mobile penetration of over 90%. www.marketreportsonindia.com

Significant market consolidation amongst the mobile operators was underway in 2016. The three-way merger of SSTL, RCOM and Aircel will establish a company with around 200 million customers, making it the second largest mobile operator by subscribers after Bharti Airtel, and just ahead of Vodafone.

Mobile broadband penetration has grown strongly in India over the past few years driven by a strong and growing mobile subscriber base. Further strong growth is predicted over the next year to 2017.

Mobile broadband is set to grow exponentially throughout India, driving digital inclusion and economic growth for India's consumers and businesses. www.marketreportsonindia.com
