Canadian Consumer Communications Services Forecast, 2024–2028: Wireless, Internet, TV, and Wireline Voice Services
This IDC study provides the market forecast for Canadian consumer communications services, including wireless, internet access, TV, and wireline voice services, for 2024–2028."Canada is experiencing record population growth through significant levels of immigration, helping drive growth in communication services, while at the same time, seeing a slowing economy compounded by mortgages resetting at higher interest rates reducing consumer discretionary spending, resulting in price sensitivity for certain customer segments. Communications service providers that are able to create the best customer experiences and services, and create service and pricing tiers to address the needs of various segments, will be best equipped to grow revenue in this low-growth market," says Praveen Datta, research director, IDC's Canadian Consumer Communications Services.
