Dublin - Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/72cc9d/global_telecom_mar) has announced the addition of the "Global Telecom Market Status and Forecast, 2010-2015" report to their offering.

This 83-page report will give telecom managers around the world the information they need to develop winning and informed strategies to compete and survive in the increasingly challenging and complex telecom environment.

This report also gives you an insight on the world's top 20 operators, top 10 equipment vendors, as well as the top 20 countries in the fixed, mobile, Internet and broadband markets.

According to the information in the latest report Global Telecom Market Status and Forecast, the global telecom services revenue reached US$1.9 trillion in 2010, representing a 4.5% increase, an improvement compared with 2009, when revenue growth had declined to 3.8%.

Growth is expected to decline again starting in 2011 up to 2016 and telecom service revenue growth is therefore projected to slow to a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5% and revenue is expected to reach US$2.1 trillion in 2015, having surpassed the US$2.0 trillion mark in 2013.

Trends impacting the current market evolution include mobile growth reaching maturity in most markets, fixed line decline accelerating and spreading to a growing number of countries and Internet and broadband growth slowing in many regions. Continued pressure on price, may it be in the fixed or mobile segments, the decline of mobile termination rates and roaming rates and the increased presence of Over-The-Top (OTT) players in the voice market will also contribute to the slowing of telecom service revenue growth over the next 5 years HOT TELECOM's president Isabelle Paradis said.

By year-end 2010, the global aggregate number of fixed, mobile and Internet subscribers grew by 10.8% to over 7.2 billion. Nevertheless, for the first time in 2011, the growth in total telecom subscribers should drop into the single digits to 7.7%. This is mainly due to the fact that many regions are nearing saturation in each of these sectors. The growth in the number of total telecom subscribers should continue to slow over the forecasted period with a forecasted CAGR of 5.1% over the next 5 years to nearly 9.2 billion at the end of 2015. The growth in number of subscribers will continue to mainly be driven by new broadband and mobile connections.
