Key Topics Covered

1. Executive Summary & Recommendations

• Revenue from data in both the mobile and the fixed segments will be the main driver of telecoms revenue growth
• The telecoms market in North America is mostly mature and revenue will grow at a slower pace than the rest of the economy
• Geographical coverage: 4G and 5G will be the only mobile technologies in use in 2024 because operators will shut down their 2G and 3G networks
• Key trends, drivers and assumptions for the mobile and fixed markets
• Regional forecasts and cross-country comparison
• Market context: the economies in Canada and the USA are expected to grow at a slow but steady rate in the next 3 years
• Key mergers, acquisitions, and market entries
• Key drivers at a glance for each North America market

2. Market Overview

• The total telecoms revenue is expected to grow slowly, driven by growth in revenue from data in both the fixed and mobile segments
• Mobile: 5G take-up will increase at a significantly faster rate once more 5G-compatible handsets become available
• Mobile: penetration growth will be the main driver of revenue growth in the mobile segment in North America
• Mobile: the lack of competition in the mobile segment will lead to slow but stable growth in mobile revenue during the forecast period
• Fixed: the cable share of broadband connections will fall as the fibre and 5G FWA shares increase, but cable will remain the most-popular fixed broadband technology
• Fixed: fixed broadband penetration will grow during the forecast period, mainly due to improved fixed coverage
• Fixed: the total fixed revenue will grow thanks to increases in both fixed broadband penetration and fixed broadband ASPU
• Specialist business services: business revenue growth will be driven by revenue from non-operators that provide other business services
• IoT: the total IoT value chain revenue will grow considerably over the forecast period, but connectivity revenue will only account for a small proportion of it
• Pay-TV: cord-cutting will continue in North America, and traditional pay-TV service revenue will decline

3. Individual Country Forecasts

• Canada: the total service revenue will continue to grow steadily due to a lack of competition in the fixed broadband market
• Canada: the number of fixed broadband connections will continue to rise as operators expand their networks to rural areas
• Canada: the lack of challengers to the established operators will keep fixed broadband ASPU high, but mobile ARPU growth will be limited
• Canada: forecast changes
• USA: the mobile sector will be the largest contributor to revenue growth thanks to an increase in mobile penetration during the forecast period
• USA: we expect that fixed broadband ASPU will grow during the forecast period, mostly because of the low level of local competition in the market
• USA: the potential merger between T-Mobile and Sprint is creating a lot of uncertainty in the market and may lead to a decline in competition
• USA: forecast changes
