Turkey Telecom Sector Forecast to 2012

The telecommunication sector in Turkey has grown at a rapid pace in past few years, driven by government support and initiatives aimed at liberalization and privatization of the sector. Besides this, other factors such as favorable demographics coupled with rising disposable income and a desire to avail hi-tech telecom services have been fostering the growth of Turkish telecom market.

According to our latest research report, “Turkey Telecom Sector Forecast to 2012”, the telecom market in Turkey offers huge potential for future developments owing to low fixed-line, Internet and broadband penetrations in the country. Our research has revealed that the fixed-line sector remains underdeveloped in the country, and gives analysis on various factors that continue to keep a check on the sector’s viable growth. On the other hand, mobile services, which penetrated nearly 92% of the Turkish population in 2008, have also been feeling the negative impacts of economic recession.

Our research identifies that allowance of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) along with issuance of 3G licenses in late 2008 will drive up investment and growth in the country’s telecom sector. It has also been found that with intensifying competition in the telecom sector, operators such as Turk Telekom, Turkcell and Vodafone are now looking for new business expansion and customer retention strategies to sustain and gain their market share. This is prompting them to invest in such new technologies as WiMAX, IPTV and 3G. Hence, operators are aggressively pushing the deployment of network infrastructure suitable for these technologies in the country.
