Highlights from the report "Research in Focus: LTE" Watch the Preview
Globally, LTE subscriptions will make up less than 1% (.8%) of all mobile phone subscriptions by year-end 2012. LTE will grow to almost 10 percent of global mobile subscriptions by 2017. Although LTE subscription penetration in the Asia-Pacific region will remain lower than the global average, two countries in the region — Japan and South Korea — are leaders in LTE adoption, surpassed only by the US in current and expected new subscriptions in the next three years. By 2017 China and Indonesia will be important growth markets. Latin America will also continue to show lower LTE penetration than the global average. We expect almost 7% of mobile subscriptions in Brazil to be LTE by 2017, making the regional giant an important driver of global growth in LTE, despite lower than average adoption.
