APAC Expected to Lead 4G Market by 2016

Asia Pacific to lead the 4G LTE market by 2016.
The Asia & Pacific region will overtake North America in number of 4G/LTE subscribers.


Asia & Pacific will have more than 53 percent of 4G/LTE subscribers. Globally, the total number of subscribers will be over 560 million by 2016.


"Fifteen carriers in Asia & Pacific now have live LTE services, with affordable pricing models that prompt robust subscriber growth in this region. Mobile operators worldwide have committed to 4G/LTE as the network technology of the future, but financial conditions, handset costs, and spectrum license availability will all influence the pace and scope of regional deployments" said Harry Wang, director, Digital Health and Mobile Product Research, Parks Associates.


According to research global 4G/LTE subscribership will increase from 9 million in 2011 to over 560 million in 2016.
