Honduras: Smartphone Growth to Boost Flagging Broadband Penetration Rate

Published: March, 2011

Product code: 171777

Introduction

Abstract

Despite recent political problems in Honduras, the telecommunications market has continued its expansion fueled by advances in mobile penetration and broadband Internet. In 2009, the telecommunications market generated $658m and will expand at a CAGR of 5.8% over the next five years. We anticipate that the rapid shift from fixed telephony to mobile will continue since the state-owned fixed operator will still struggle to add lines. Mobile penetration of the population will expand to 110% by 2014 from 94% in 2009 compared with a stable fixed-line penetration of 13% throughout the forecast period. Mobile data will expand at a CAGR of 23.2% to generate $285m by 2014.
