Update 11 June 2024

TELCO ACTUALS

The financial KPI dataset has been updated for all geographies with data to 1Q 2024. We have also reviewed and republished historical datasets for some countries as part of the forecasting process (see next section).

TELCO FORECASTS

We have made full updates to our core forecasts for North America and the Middle East and North Africa based on historical data to 4Q 2023. We have also made partial updates (taking into account recent data changes and new market trends) to the core forecasts for most countries in Western Europe and to Bulgaria in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as to the fixed–mobile convergence forecasts for North America. The business, communications services and global core forecasts have been refreshed to align with these changes.

We have revised the exchange rates used for Iran in order to capture the impact of high inflation in that country, which results in significantly lower USD values than previously published. This change follows our annual exchange rate transition that was completed in May 2024, which resulted in more widespread changes to monetary values expressed in common currencies (USD or EUR) for 2023 and onwards.

Data for all geographies was updated in April 2024 and is based on 2023 historical data.

Update 16 May 2024

TELCO ACTUALS AND FORECASTS

We have completed our annual exchange rate transition. This process replaces estimated exchange rate data for 2023 with actual data, and our estimations for future exchange rates are updated and applied to our forecast results. All monetary values expressed in common currencies (USD or EUR) for 2023 and onwards have been revised. We have also rebased our constant currency results to be defined as USD (2023) or EUR (2023).

GDP data has been refreshed with the latest data from the International Monetary Fund (World Economic Outlook Database, April 2024 edition).

The fixed–mobile convergence datasets have been revised, both for historical and forecast data. We have retired China, Malaysia and Thailand from our datasets, and have added New Zealand and Switzerland. Our fixed–mobile convergence datasets therefore now cover 17 countries.

TELCO FORECASTS

The core and business forecasts have been updated for Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America based on historical data to 3Q 2023. The worldwide results and the person-to-person (P2P) communications forecasts have been refreshed to reflect these changes. We have also made some adjustments to the Western European core forecasts in the light of new demographic data. We have retired all metrics relating to desktop management from the business forecasts in this update, thereby reducing the number of metrics from 700 to 670.

You can find out more about the new features and revised functionality in the DataHub.

Update 11 April 2024

TELCO ACTUALS

The historical dataset for all countries in Central and Eastern Europe and North America was updated to include 4Q 2023 data. The fixed–mobile convergence (FMC) data for all European countries was also updated to include 4Q 2023 data. The Financial KPIs (FinKPIs) dataset was refreshed with data to 4Q 2023 for all regions, now that all operators have reported their end-of-year figures. Some minor adjustments have been made to the historical dataset for Western Europe.

Update 21/28 March 2024

28 March: The historical dataset for all Western European countries was updated to include 4Q 2023 data.

21 March: The Financial KPI dataset was updated with data to 4Q 2023 for all regions, based on available reporting at the time of publication. A number of operators have delayed their end-of-year reporting, so we will collect and incorporate the remaining data in our next update.

TELCO FORECASTS

The IoT forecasts have been fully updated based on data to 2Q 2023. We have consolidated the taxonomy, creating new aggregated metrics (for all metric types, all networks, for totals and splits by technology) in the following categories.

New metric name Aggregated from the following metrics (which have been retired)
IoT – automotive – fleet IoT – automotive – fleet – HGV
IoT – automotive – fleet – LCV
IoT – health – RPM IoT – health – acute RPM
IoT – health – chronic RPM
IoT – retail – signage IoT – retail – signage – in-store
IoT – retail – signage – roadside
IoT – retail – signage – temporary
IoT – retail – signage – transit hubs
IoT – retail – signage – public venues

The net result is that there are now 152 fewer IoT metrics in the dataset (76 new metrics replace 228 retired ones).

The business forecasts have been fully updated for North America and the Middle East and North Africa based on data to 1Q 2023 and 4Q 2022, respectively.

The pay-TV forecasts have been fully updated for all of Western Europe and for Turkey using the new taxonomy introduced in December 2023, which is explained in the Full metrics list.

The regional and worldwide core forecasts have been refreshed to reflect all these changes. 

Update 8 February 2024

TELCO ACTUALS

The core historical dataset has been updated with data to 3Q 2023 for all countries in emerging Asia–Pacific, Latin America and Africa, thus completing the 3Q 2023 dataset.

TELCO FORECASTS

The core forecasts for Central and Eastern Europe have been fully updated based on data to 2Q 2023, along with the business forecasts and person-to-person (P2P) communications services forecasts for that region. The business forecasts were also fully updated for emerging Asia–Pacific based on data to 2Q 2023.

The worldwide core forecasts have been refreshed to reflect all these changes.

(In December 2023, Analysys Mason made changes to the pay-TV forecasts taxonomy, the details of which are set out in the Full metrics list, in which we have included a before-and-after view of the metrics available.)

Update 25 January 2024

Historical core data to 3Q 2023 was added to ‘Telco actuals’ for five regions. Telco core forecasts were updated for emerging Asia–Pacific and the person-to-person (P2P) forecasts were updated for all regions.

(We recently made changes to the pay-TV forecasts taxonomy, the details of which are set out in the Full metrics list, in which we have included a ‘before-and-after’ view of the metrics available.)

Update 21 December 2023

Financial KPI data for 3Q 2023 was added to ‘Telco actuals’. Telco core, business and pay-TV forecasts were updated for Western Europe, and Telco business forecasts for developed Asia–Pacific.  

Croatia adopted the Euro on 1 January 2023, so we are now showing local currency results for Croatia in EUR.

TELCO ACTUALS

The Financial KPI dataset has been fully updated with data to 3Q 2023.

We have revised our nomenclature for pay-TV metrics (see further details below).

TELCO FORECASTS

The core and business forecasts for Western Europe have been fully updated based on data to 2Q 2023. The pay-TV forecasts for Western Europe have been fully revised for France and Italy only (as well as the regional total). In addition, we have made the following changes to the pay-TV forecasts.

  • We have consolidated the metric taxonomy, retiring a number of metrics that were only present for Europe, such as pay-TV households as a measure of users.
  • We have revised the nomenclature to clarify the use of revenue-generating units (RGUs) as a measure of connections (as distinct from users).
  • We have introduced a new naming structure of many metrics, most notably replacing ‘OTT’ with ‘streaming video’. The new taxonomy is set out in the Full metrics list, in which we have included a 'before-and-after' view of the metrics available.
  • For France and Italy, we have introduced several new metrics, including:
    • streaming video RGUs (as opposed to users)
    • third-party streaming video spend – direct to customer
    • third-party streaming video spend – via operator sales channels
    • total streaming video – advertising tier
    • total streaming video – full-price tier.
  • The Western European regional totals for connections will include a mixture of streaming video users and RGUs until all countries have been re-modelled with the new taxonomy.

The business forecasts for developed Asia–Pacific (DVAP) have also been fully updated based on data to 1Q 2023, and these results have been incorporated into core forecast for developed Asia–Pacific. The global core forecasts have been refreshed to reflect all these changes.

We have discontinued the business/residential splits for pay-TV metrics, which were previously available for Europe only. We are also retiring the desktop management metrics for new forecasts (so these results are no longer available for Western Europe and developed Asia–Pacific).

Update 30 October 2023

Financial KPI data for 3Q 2023 was added to ‘Telco actuals’. Telco core, business and pay-TV forecasts were updated for Western Europe, and Telco business forecasts for developed Asia–Pacific.

Croatia adopted the Euro on 1 January 2023, so we are now showing local currency results for Croatia in EUR.

TELCO ACTUALS

This update includes new core historical data to 2Q 2023 for the Middle East and Africa and Latin America.

We recently enhanced our European core data coverage by introducing new metrics which clearly distinguish between retail and network subscribers for each mobile operator. We now have two metrics for both total connections and market share for European countries, as follows:

Metric name (new metrics in italics) Operator allocation
Mobile|Connections|total Network basis
Mobile|Connections|total – retail basis Retail basis
Mobile|Connections – market share|total Network basis
Mobile|Connections – market share|total– retail basis Retail basis

The total market results for both measures of connections are identical. The retail and network metrics only differ in the way that subscribers are allocated to operators:

  • Network basis: when customers subscribe to a service provided by a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO, an operator without their own network infrastructure), that customer relationship is recorded as belonging to the network operator which hosts the MVNO.
  • Retail basis: customer relationships are recorded as belonging to the retail provider, be that mobile network operator (MNO) or MVNO.

We have undertaken a remodelling exercise for all Western European mobile markets (now including Greece and Portugal) in order to show the data for the larger MVNOs individually. For Central and Eastern European countries, all MVNOs are clustered into a single entity. For non-European countries, operator subscribers and market share are reported on a network basis only.

TELCO FORECASTS

This release includes the Communication Services forecast (OTT/P2P) update for Europe. It includes updated launch dates of VoWiFi, VoLTE and Operator IP services. It also uses internal Analysys Mason consumer survey data to inform OTT (third-party app) messaging, tablet data and operator IP forecasts. The VoWiFi forecast was also remodelled.

Update 20 October 2023

TELCO ACTUALS

This update includes new core historical data to 2Q 2023 for Europe, North America and Asia–Pacific. The fixed-mobile convergence dataset has also been updated to 2Q 2023. 

We have enhanced our European core data coverage by introducing new metrics which clearly distinguish between retail and network subscribers for each mobile operator. We now have two metrics for each of total connections and market share for European countries, as follows:

Metric name (new metrics in italics) Operator allocation
Mobile|Connections|total Network basis
Mobile|Connections|total – retail basis Retail basis
Mobile|Connections – market share|total Network basis
Mobile|Connections – market share|total– retail basis Retail basis

The total market results for both measures of connections are identical. The retail and network metrics only differ in the way that subscribers are allocated to operators:

  • Network basis: when customers subscribe to a service provided by a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO, an operator without their own network infrastructure), that customer relationship is recorded as belonging to the network operator which hosts the MVNO.
  • Retail basis: customer relationships are recorded as belonging to the retail provider, be that mobile network operator (MNO) or MVNO.  

We have undertaken a remodelling exercise for all Western European mobile markets (including Greece and Portugal, for the first time, in this update) in order to show the data for the larger MVNOs individually. For Central and Eastern European countries, all MVNOs are clustered into a single entity. For non-European countries, operator subscribers and market share are reported on a network basis only. 

TELCO FORECASTS

This update includes a new version of the core forecasts for North America, based on historical data to 1Q 2023. The business, person-to-person (P2P) communications services and worldwide core forecasts have been updated accordingly. 

Update 30 September 2023

The new cloud-hosted DataHub

The DataHub application has been updated and is now hosted on the cloud. This relaunch expands the scope and flexibility of the DataHub to accommodate more and larger datasets. The original ‘Forecasts’ and ‘Actuals’ sections have been supplemented by the 'SMB Technology Forecaster' portal (see below for more details), and the original tabs have been clustered under the umbrella term 'Telco’ (metrics relating to the commercial activity of telecommunications operators). The 'Telco' dataset has not been changed since the previous update on 12 September 2023. You can find out more about the new features and revised functionality within the DataHub application.

SMB TECHNOLOGY FORECASTER DATASET

The SMB Technology Forecaster is a valuable tool that helps clients to forecast, inform and validate their marketing and channel strategies with precision and confidence.

The dataset carries around 120 000 metrics and provides forecasts of business demand for over 130 ICT categories up to 2028. Demand is expressed in terms of spending, shipments and installed base. All metrics are segmented by 13 size categories and 19 industry verticals and spend is also categorised by 5 routes to market. Data is available for 65 geographies, including 57 individually modelled countries, plus regional and worldwide totals. 

Data for all geographies was updated in July 2023 and is based on historical data up to 1Q 2022.

TELCO ACTUALS AND FORECASTS 

This data has not been changed since the previous update on 12 September 2023. 

Update 12 September 2023

ACTUALS

This update includes new Financial KPI historical data to 2Q 2023 for all regions.

FORECASTS

The core forecasts for developed Asia–Pacific have been fully refreshed based on 1Q 2023 data. We have also revised the forecasts of SMS volumes in other non-European regions. The business, global core and person-to-person (P2P) communications services forecasts have been aligned to take account of these changes.

Update 13 July 2023

ACTUALS

We have completed a full update of the Middle East and North Africa core forecasts, based on historical data to 4Q 2022. The business, communications services and worldwide core forecasts have been refreshed to align with this new data.

The wireless data traffic forecasts have also been fully refreshed. We have consolidated the list of countries modelled individually, while still providing full regional and worldwide coverage. Full coverage details can be found in the ‘List of metrics’ download, available in the ‘About the DataHub’ menu in the application. The core forecasts for all regions have been amended to include new cellular data traffic figures drawn from the wireless data traffic forecasts.

Update 26 May 2023

ACTUALS

This update contains Financial KPI data for 1Q 2023 for all regions.

FORECASTS

We have made some minor revisions to the Latin America core forecast and some very small adjustments to the business forecast metrics in some regions.

EXCHANGE RATES

We have revised the exchange rate data that underpins all monetary values in the DataHub. The 2022 exchange rate figures are now based on actual numbers rather than forecasts, and all exchange rates for future years have been reforecast. We are now using 2022 as the base year for constant currencies (USD 2022 and EUR 2022). Full details of our exchange rate methodology can be found in the exchange rate download file and on-screen help text.

All forecasts have been rebased to the new currency, which will result in some metrics showing different monetary values. For most forecasts, we conduct the modelling in local currencies, so the differences will be visible only in the common currency (USD or EUR) numbers and, in particular, the regional totals (because these are necessarily shown in common currency). For the small number of forecasts that we model in common currencies (for example, IoT), the local currency values will change from 2022 onwards.

EXCHANGE RATES

We have revised the exchange rate data that underpins all monetary values in the DataHub. The 2021 exchange rate figures are now based on actual numbers rather than forecasts, and all exchange rates for future years have been reforecast. We are now using 2021 as the base year for constant currencies (USD 2021 and EUR 2021). Full details of our exchange rate methodology can be found in the exchange rate download file and on-screen help text.

All forecasts have been rebased to the new currency, which will result in some metrics showing different monetary values. For most forecasts, we conduct the modelling in local currencies, so the differences will be visible in the common currency numbers, and the regional totals in particular (because these are necessarily shown in common currency: EUR or USD). For the small number of forecasts that we model in common currencies (for example, IoT), the local currency values will change from 2021 onwards.
