Research and Markets has announced the addition of Opportunities for Telecommunications Equipment & Services in the BRIC Economies to their offering.
A new report that evaluates the real status, opportunities and threats for Telecoms companies in the BRIC economies.
The real opportunities lie in the future, where steady growth in BRIC markets will erode the commercial differences with the established markets of North America, Japan, and Europe.
Effective planning is vital, and impartial, thoroughly researched information is essential to fully appreciate the current status as a basis for future development. That is why the author has published the publication management Opportunities for Telecommunications Equipment & Services in the BRIC Economies. In addition to highly detailed chapters on each market, the report provides a thought-provoking and comparative examination of the BRIC economies, putting opportunities into their current and future context.
For years the huge markets of Russia, India and China (the BRIC economies) have promised much and delivered little. Ongoing political and economic issues have held them back from realising their true potential in the global market. But is all that set to change?
This is evolution not revolution, and change will be progressive. Common characteristics to be found among the four markets include:
Low penetration rates for mobile, Internet, and fixed-line services, despite decades of foreign investment.
No 3G licences yet issued in any of these four markets - if the take-up of 3G elsewhere is anything to go by, 3G licensing should be hotly-contested.
Poorly-defined regulatory regimes have hindered the existing players, but careful analysis of market rules should allow the most savvy to survive.
Meanwhile, each market presents its own combination of challenges and opportunities:
China and India are emerging as equipment development and manufacturing power-houses, with leading vendors setting up shop to take advantage of highly-skilled low-cost employee base and access to key regional distribution hubs.
The Asian market - the Indochina subcontinent in particular - is very poorly served at the moment and will represent the focus for the next major industry expansion effort.
Russia is less attractive for manufacturers wishing to set up local facilities, but has good prospects for foreign companies wishing to sell to the emerging mobile and fixed-line operators.
