Posted August 9, 2010

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IE Market Research Corp. (IEMR), the Canadian-based provider of market intelligence services, announced today the release of its 3Q.2010 United Kingdom Mobile Operator Forecast, 2010 - 2014.

“The merger of Orange and T-Mobile changes the competitive dynamics of the UK mobile operator significantly. We forecast that, after the merger of Orange and T-Mobile, the new combined company's subscriber market share will be approximately 41% and this level will be maintained over the next three years,” said Nizar Assanie, Vice President (Research) at IEMR. “The UK wireless market continues to grow. According to our forecasts, the UK will have 84 million mobile connections by the end of 2014. While Vodafone’s market share declines slightly, and O2’s market share will be increasing over the forecast period to reach 28.0% in 2014.”

IEMR’s United Kingdom Mobile Operator Forecast covers 50 financial and operational metrics on wireless operators in the UK, including Vodafone Group Plc, Telefónica O2 UK Limited, Hutchison 3G UK Limited, Orange (France Télécom S.A.), T-Mobile UK (Deutsche Telekom AG), and the new combined company after the merger of Orange and T-Mobile. Our Mobile Operator Forecasts are updated quarterly and are available for one-time delivery or through regular updates.

Notable highlights of the 3Q.2010 United Kingdom Mobile Operator Forecast include:

  • Our model does not forecast significant changes in the ARPU levels over the forecast period, 2010 - 2014. We think that Hutchison 3G's ARPU level will continue to be the highest among operators. We forecast that its monthly ARPU will continue to be approximately £23 over the next two years.
  • We expect that the industry average level of profitability measured by EBITDA margin (calculated as EBITDA / service revenue) will be approximately 22% over the next eight quarters. O2's EBITDA margin will be the highest among operators.
