Abstract
This IDC study provides the reader an overview of the IT spending trends by the
telecom sector in India. It also provides insights into their important
industry dynamics and opportunities, the trends shaping up in the vertical,
emerging business challenges and issues, and the role that IT is playing in
exploiting these opportunities and meeting these challenges. Along with this,
the study also provides insights into componentwise IT spending patterns for
the major product categories in the vertical for the year 2006 as well as a
forecast of the same on a yearly basis until 2011.
"The total IT spending by the telecom sector in India was estimated to be
US$1,515.9 million in 2006 and this is expected to increase at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3% for the forecast period to reach US$3,226.9
million by 2011. The major contribution in the telecom IT market comes from
the services segment, which is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 17.2%, from
US$590.4 million in 2006 to US$1,303.7 million in 2011. However, the major
growth driver in the vertical is going to be the packaged software market,
which is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 20.2% for the forecast period
2006-2011. Business and regulatory requirements like quality of service (QoS),
customer relationship management (CRM), convergence, network expansion
(especially in the rural areas), integrated and centralized billing solutions,
data warehousing (DW), and operational support system (OSS)/business support
system (BSS) modernization and consolidation are going to be the major drivers
of increasing IT spend for the telecom vertical in the years ahead," says Arpan
Gupta, assistant manager, Verticals Research, IDC India.
