Product Type: Market Research Report

Product Code: R97-2779
Description
The year 2006 saw the Asia/Pacific broadband access services market continue to grow at a rate close to In-Stat’s 2005 forecast. Broadband subscribers reached 109.0 million in the 13 major markets in the region, a 25.9% increase from 2005. The total market is envisaged to reach 231.3 million subscribers by 2011. DSL still remains the leading technology for broadband access, while the Asia/Pacific region proved to stand in the forefront of the FTTx evolution worldwide. FTTx in Japan and South Korea reported over 10 million subscribers in 2006, posing a strong DSL replacing trend. In China and India, the market continued an impressive growth in 2006 and constitutes the bulk of new subscribers.

In the forecast period, In-Stat expects the Asia/Pacific regional markets to witness continuing transition from existing narrowband subscribers to broadband, especially in broadband laggard markets. The changing paradigm attributes to the growing demand for broadband applications. When the subscribers get used to media-rich content, they will migrate from a narrowband connection.
