IEMR’s Global Mobile Operator Forecast covers 50 operational metrics of 200+ mobile operators in 50+ countries, making up 80% of the world’s population. Our forecasts are based on our proprietary, country-specific forecasting models. These models deploy multiple regression analysis and cross-impact matrices that estimate relationships between subscriber data, technology use and deployment data, overall economic and demographic changes expected in a particular country; and relate these to company operational and financial metrics.

So what is IEMR’s Forecast?

Total wireless subscriber accounts in Japan to reach 126.5 million in 2013
  • We expect the number of mobile subscriber accounts in Japan to continue increasing over the next five years. Our model predicts that it will increase from 109.3 million in 2008 to 126.5 million in 2013.
  • NTT DOCOMO will continue to serve the highest number of subscribers among other operators. Given the latest quarter numbers, we expect that its subscriber base will increase from 54.2 million in 2008 to 60.2 million in 2013.
  • KDDI will continue to be the second largest operator in Japan with 33.6 million mobile subscribers in 2013, and the third largest will be SOFTBANK MOBILE with 28.6 million subscribers in 2013, according to our model.
SOFTBANK MOBILE's subscriber market share will be increasing over the next five years
  • Our model predicts that NTT DOCOMO's subscriber market share will decrease from 49.6% in 2008 to 47.6% in 2013. Instead, SOFTBANK MOBILE will see its market share increase from 18.3% in 2008 to 22.6% in 2013.
  • We forecast that KDDI's share of total subscribers will also decline from 28.0% in 2008 to 26.6% in 2013.
  • Also, we expect that WILLCOM's market share will fall from 4.2% to 3.2% over the forecast period, 2008 - 2013.
ARPU levels will continue declining from 2009 to 2013
  • We forecast that the operator-wide average monthly ARPU in Japan will decrease from 5,571 yen in 2008 to 4,200 yen in 2013.
  • We expect that SOFTBANK MOBILE will continue to charge lower tariffs than its competitors to gain market share. According to our forecasting model, ARPU levels at NTT DOCOMO, KDDI, and SOFTBANK MOBILE will decline over the next five years to reach 4,447 yen, 4,333 yen, and 3,513 yen respectively in 2013.
NTT DOCOMO will be enjoying the highest EBITDA margins among mobile operators in Japan
  • We expect that NTT DOCOMO's EBITDA margins (calculated as EBITDA / reported revenue) will continue to be higher than those of KDDI and SOFTBANK MOBILE over the next several years.
  • We forecast that EBITDA margins at NTT DOCOMO, KDDI, and SOFTBANK MOBILE will be approximately 37.2%, 32.8%, and 25.4% respectively in 2013.
