Report highlights:

Pyramid Research expects overall service revenue to grow at a 0.5% CAGR by 2019. The fixed/mobile revenue split will remain inclined toward mobile. The mobile segment will witness a growth in its share of total revenue in 2019 to over 58%.

The top two operators, TIM and Vodafone Italia, which provide fixed-line and mobile services, will account for 60% of overall service revenue in 2014. We expect that consistent and continued growth in the penetration of data-centric devices will further encourage operators to invest in the mobile data segment, which in turn will help to offset decline in telecom market revenue.

Adoption of 3G technologies will peak at 74.8% of mobile subscriptions in 2017 and is projected to start declining in 2018 as a result of the growing availability of LTE networks and devices. By 2019, the number of LTE subscriptions is expected to reach over 39% of all mobile subscriptions in Italy. TIM and Vodafone Italia are both investing aggressively in 4G coverage, while Wind and 3 are increasing their focus on 4G while still upgrading their HSDPA networks.

Over the next five years, operators should seize opportunities in mobile data growth. We expect it to generate a cumulative $72.3bn in revenue by 2019. After mobile data, fixed broadband will follow and over the next two years or so, vendors should position themselves for capex opportunities associated with significant NGN investments as Italian operators seek to expand LTE and NGN coverage (mainly VDSL2/FTTC).

Key Findings

The Mobile broadband segment, fuelled by the adoption of data-centric devices such as Smartphones and tablets, is the most important driver for growth in Italy’s telecommunications market. In fixed broadband, Italy lags all other major European markets. Nonetheless, the country fares better than average in the region when it comes to mobile broadband. The growth of mobile data is largely driven by the strong uptake of HSDPA- and LTE-based services, as Italy already has the widest mobile broadband population coverage among the top five European markets.

The consumer segment will for some time remain affected by negative macroeconomic conditions, currently manifested in a deflationary trend. The segment is also suffering from the near-nonexistence of a triple-play market, given the lack of IPTV offerings and the dominance in pay-TV of DTH player Sky, which lacks a broadband play. Even so, 3G+ and 4G represent huge opportunities for mobile operators, as non-messaging data services will continue to grow steadily in through 2019. Given the challenges faced by the fixed and multiplay consumer segments, the enterprise market is becoming a strategic priority for operators. We expect major opportunities to arise in connectivity, cloud computing and unified communications services aimed at SMEs.
