United States (US) Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report


Summary

United States Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report, a new Country Intelligence Report by GlobalData, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in United States today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2027. Published annually, the report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics, and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile, and pay-TV segments, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

The total telecom and pay-TV service revenue in the United States will grow marginally at a CAGR of 0.7%, primarily driven by growth in mobile data and fixed broadband segments. Mobile data service will remain the largest contributor to total market revenue, with revenue from the segment increasing from $172 billion in 2022 to $220.8 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.1%. This will be driven by growing mobile internet subscriptions and relatively higher data ARPU from 5G subscriptions. Fixed broadband revenue will grow during the forecast period, driven by growth in cable internet, fiber and fixed-wireless subscriptions and increasing fixed broadband ARPU. Pay-TV service revenue, on the other hand will decline during 2022-2027, due to steady drop in subscriptions from DTH, cable TV, and IPTV services.
