Mobile broadband market set to soar in Asia Pacific: Analyst

Revenues from the mobile broadband market in the Asia Pacific will more than double by 2015, with small-screen devices accounting for most of the growth, telecoms analyst Ovum has predicted.

Ovum tips a compound annual growth rate of 20% for the Asia Pacific mobile broadband market, with revenue forecast to soar from $43 billion last year to $108 billion in 2015.

Ovum says revenues from small-screen devices (smartphones and feature phones) will exceed those of large-screen devices (laptops, netbooks and tablets) and handset connections will far outstrip big-screen connections.

Principal analyst Steven Hartley says emerging markets will underpin growth in smartphones.

"Many consumers will use these as their only form of Internet access, driving connections growth," he says.
