Russia’s telecoms sector revenue expected to improve with transition to 5G
The Russian telecom market is the largest in Europe, with the country’s mobile market also the largest.
The mobile market is on the cusp of the 5G era, with an auction of spectrum in the 25.25GHz-27.5GHz range expected in the first months of 2020, and with the MNOs poised to launch commercial services later in the year. While a number of mobile network operators offer services in this market, it is dominated by the four major operators.
Over the last few years the telecoms market has in general risen steadily despite the larger economic difficulties within Russia. Growth into 2020 will largely be on the back of the broadband and mobile sectors, which will offset declining sales in the fixed-line telephony sector. Some resurgence is expected as a result of investment in the fibre and 5G segments.
Growth in telecom sector revenue – 2011 – 2019
Russia’s telecom network is rapidly modernising as both alternative operators and Rostelecom deploy infrastructure to expand service availability and offer broadband and data services. The eastern part of the country, due to its extremely low population density, presents a challenging environment for telecoms investment. However, telecoms connectivity is expanding as networks are deployed as part of universal service obligations.
Russia ranks in the top 5 European market emergent countries for telecoms maturity according to BuddeComm’s Telecoms Maturity Index.
