Indian 3G Mobile Forecast to 2012

The Indian mobile market has undergone a revolutionary change over the past few years to become one of the leading mobile markets on the global map. Easy availability of low-priced devices, better network coverage and affordable services are some of the major factors that have boosted its growth and will continue to do the same in future. Wireless teledensity has also risen to the level of around 45% at the end of 2009, but still there is a vast scope for further improvement because of a wide gap in teledensity between urban and rural areas. For instance – the wireless teledensity in urban areas rose to around 112% in the mid 2010, while it stood at 24% in rural areas.

Our research anticipates that the deployment of 3G services on a national scale will play a vital role in bridging this huge gap. According to our new research report “Indian 3G Mobile Forecast to 2012”, the number of 3G mobile subscribers is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 80% between 2011 and 2013 to around 55 Million by the end of the period.
