Research and Markets: GSM in India - Opportunities, Forecasts, Key Players and More...
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f40ef8/gsm_in_india) has announced the addition of eprobe Research Pvt Ltd's "GSM in India" report to their offering.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the world's most popular standard for mobile telephony systems. It differs from predecessor technologies in that both signaling and speech channels are digital, and thus GSM is applicable to both 2G and 3G mobile phone systems.
In India the number of GSM subscribers reached 580.67 millions by May 2011, and the GSM market is exhibiting a year-on-year growth rate of more than 20%. The major players in the Indian market are Airtel, Idea, Vodafone, BSNL and Tata Docomo. Airtel is the market leader with a total number of 165 million subscribers, and holds a market share of 28.35% - followed by Vodafone which has 137 million subscribers.
The Indian GSM market is witnessing fierce competition in accordance with its rapid market growth. The internal drivers of the GSM market derive from its large population, open and fully competitive market, increasing mobile subscribers in rural areas and rising mobile penetration. Further, on the basis of large rural population, the emphasis of Indian GSM market participants has transferred to rural areas. The GSM market in rural regions is expected to grow by more than 75 present in the next three years.
The increase in the number of subscribers resulted in lower average revenue per user (ARPU), apart from reduced tariffs due to the rising competition. Cost optimization efforts however, ensured a lower rate of increase.
GSM in India by eprobe Research Pvt Ltd explores the consequences and opportunities arising from this situation.
Every copy sold of GSM in India is updated with the latest information and statistics - a process that requires five business days.
