Subscribers
· The number of mobile subscribers worldwide stood at almost 6 billion at end-2011. The subscriber base is forecast to increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.3 percent between 2011 and 2016, to reach nearly 8.5 billion by end-2016.
· This growth will be led by markets in Asia Pacific and Africa. During the period 2011-2016, the subscriber base of Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9 percent; African markets will witness a CAGR of 9.4 percent during the same period.
· The advanced markets of North America and Western Europe are approaching saturation, with most of the markets having close to or more than 100 percent mobile penetration.[1]
· Mobile subscribers worldwide are gradually shifting to 3G and higher networks, and users in these segments are forecast to account for around 60 percent of total subscribers by end-2016, compared to 26 percent at end-2011.

– smartphone shipments in 2012 will account for almost 40 percent of total worldwide handset shipments
– smartphones will account for the majority of worldwide handset shipments by end-2016
– mobile services generated over USD 1.3 trillion in revenues worldwide in 2011, and that this revenue is now expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3 percent between 2011 and 2016, to hit nearly USD 1.8 trillion by end-2016
– the worldwide mobile market will generate total service revenues of nearly eight trillion US dollars over the next five years
