New Zealand Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report
Summary
New Zealand Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report, a new Country Intelligence Report by GlobalData, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in New Zealand today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2028. 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.
Total telecom and pay-TV service revenues in New Zealand will grow at a five-year CAGR of 0.7% during the 2023-2028 period, mainly supported by revenue growth in the mobile data and fixed broadband segments. Mobile data service revenue will increase at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. This growth will be driven by a continued rise in mobile internet subscriptions with improving mobile network coverage, a robust growth in adoption of 5G services, and an increase in mobile data ARPU over the forecast period. Fixed broadband service revenue will also grow to about $1.3 billion in 2028, supported by subscription gains in both the fiber broadband and fixed wireless broadband segments.
