Summary

"Romania: Country Intelligence Report", a new Country Intelligence Report by GlobalData, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in Romania today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2023. Published annually, the report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile and pay-TV segments, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

The telecom service revenue growth in the Romania over 2018-2023 will be driven by mobile data and fixed broadband segments. Mobile data revenue will be driven by rising smartphone subscriptions, increasing adoption of high-speed LTE/LTE-A services with higher-ARPU, and the expected launch of 5G services in 2020. Going forwards, operators will focus on data-centric services and gear-up for readying 5G. Broadband revenue will be driven by supported government subsidies to local operators to promote broadband access in rural and white spot areas.
