With a population of 1.1bn, a mobile penetration rate of 21% and a broadband penetration rate of less than 1%, India is the fastest-growing market in the world and offers strong opportunities for operators, vendors and investors. Over the forecast period 2007-2013, the Indian market will nearly triple in size, to US$78 bn by 2013, and ranking amongst the world’s largest and fastest-growing markets.
Most attention is on the rapidly growing mobile sector, as was suggested by the strong interest in the sale by Hutchison Telecommunications International (HTIL) of its stake in Hutchinson Essar, eventually purchased by Vodafone for US$11.1 bn. Falling handset prices, rising incomes, lower tariffs, and initiatives in infrastructure sharing are all likely to spur mobile penetration to reach 58% by 2013, for nearly a half-billion new subscribers in total.
3G license auctions also are on the agenda, although exact timing has yet to be determined. Pyramid Research expects some 80 m 3G subscribers by 2013, representing around 12% of the total subscriber base; however, service adoption will be limited to a relatively small group of metro and Circle A subscribers who can afford handset prices of around US$300-350.
