An Analysis of the Telecommunications Equipment Industry in Holland Including for Example the Key Factors Driving the Market

Dublin (PRWEB) December 7, 2005

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c29023) has announced the addition of Telecommunications Equipment Market: Outlook 2006 2012, Holland to their offering

Telecommunications is a large and dynamic business that continues to enjoy significant growth worldwide in past few quarters. Trillion dollars flowed into the telecom industry during the tech bubble of the late 1990s, but after several brutal years watching telecom industry fortunes being driven downwardwith the attendant layoffs, bankruptcies, and even a few accounting scandalsin late 2004 and 2005 the telecommunications industry has turned the corner.

North America (NA) has the slowest growth rate but is region with the largest telecommunications services revenue, Europe and Middle East/Africa (EMEA) exhibits a slightly higher growth rate due to growth in the wireless market and growth from less developed sub-regions of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. While for the most of the mature telecom services markets, growth is most dependent on new services as opposed to subscriber growth scenario is opposite for underdeveloped markets. The faster-growing regions are Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Holland/Pacific (AP) due to combination of a rapidly expanding middle class and increased privatization of key industries. The resulting pent-up demand for telecommunications services, much of which is satisfied by wireless services, is reflected in its high growth relative to the worldwide composite.

Telecommunications is a mature industry that has been globally available for some time. Growth of subscribers, traffic, and most importantly revenues, is by no means automatic. Entry costs for new users and tariffs must be continuously reduced to increase subscriber numbers and minutes of use. Infrastructure solutions that deliver lower cost coverage and more efficient capacity are critical to drive up service volumes and revenues. Competition is often already intense amongst the established players. Additionally, there is a steady stream of new operators and service providers who build up their service capabilities with the latest technology, hoping to create a major competitive advantage. Key needs for telecom operators are higher volumes and new services to sustain revenue growth and improved cost efficiency to protect margins. A prudent yet aggressive adoption of business enhancing technology is also needed to ensure current and future competitiveness: especially as future IP based communications creates the opportunity for much wider competition. Business Growth, Cost Efficiency and Evolution are therefore regarded as key drivers.

Improvements to the Infrastructure, that continued technological advancement and the ongoing transformation of network infrastructure, are ultimately driven by end-user demand for bandwidth. The migration of networks from legacy electronic circuit switching to IP based packet switching is paramount to keeping pace with the transmission requirements of innovative, high-bandwidth services and applications. To accomplishing this requires carriers to update systems and equipment at all levels of the telecommunications network architectureend-user, access, metro, and core. Some of the equipment areas showing optimistic outlook are softswitches, optical add-drop & wavelength division multiplexers, optical fibers, as well as discrete optical components such as transmitters, tunable lasers, and modulators to name a few.
