Sri Lanka Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Digital Media Statistics and Analyses 2017 - Research and Markets
The "Sri
Lanka - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Digital Media - Statistics and
Analyses" report has been added to Research and Markets'
offering.
Sri Lanka's mobile broadband market gathers pace
Sri Lanka's telecoms market is relatively small but mature compared to
neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Pakistan. A good start has been
made on expansion and provision of supporting infrastructure for
telecommunications services.
The fixed line market in Sri Lanka remains underdeveloped due to the
dominance of the mobile segment. Further, the number of fixed telephone
lines is slowly declining as the mobile segment continues to expand.
Overall penetration dropped from 16.3% in 2012 to 11.3% in 2017. The
market is predicted to decline further over the next five years to 2022
as the mobile segment continues to grow for both voice and
data/broadband usage.
Sri Lanka's mobile market has experienced strong growth over the last
five years.
By offering an effective and efficient alternative to the fixed-line
networks, with their chronic problems in meeting the general demand for
telephone services, the mobile phone has become an essential service and
has grown strongly.
Mobile penetration has risen from 96% in 2012 to 126% in 2017. The last
three years in particular have seen very strong growth led b the market
leader Dialog Axiata. Slow to moderate growth is predicted over the next
five years to 2022. The market will be constrained from higher growth
due to very strong local competition and a saturated mobile market.
Sri Lanka has seen a very strong increase in mobile broadband
penetration over the past five years with market penetration increasing
from 8% in 2012 to 21% in 2017, driven by a rising level of mobile
subscribers. However, the mobile broadband market is still at an early
stage of development with penetration well below most other developed
Asian countries.
The market is now moving from 4G towards 5G mobile services. Dialog
Axiata carried out a 5G' network capability trial with technology
partners Ericsson and Huawei (News - Alert) in Colombo.
The availability of e-commerce applications including mobile banking,
e-bus ticketing, and mobile points of sale (POS) continues to increase.
