This Market Data product tracks the following regional and national economic indicators on a quarterly basis:

- Economic Assessment: Percentage Change in Output GDP
- Economic Assessment: Output GDP per Capita
- Official Bank Interest Rates
- Unemployment Rate

M2M Market Forecasts

The cellular M2M module market experienced an extremely difficult period in 2008 and early 2009 as a result of the overall global economic crisis. However, it appears that 4Q08 and 1Q09 represented "the bottom" of the market for cellular M2M and most vendors believe that the second half of 2009 will prove stronger than the first half. From 2010 onwards the market will resume a more normal growth pattern. Nevertheless, cellular M2M module vendors face increasingly challenging pressures on their ability to earn a profit. These market pressures include: commoditization; threat of obsolescence in the value chain; and competition from contract custom module makers and design houses in both Asia-Pacific and Europe. More broadly, the cellular M2M market faces a number of market drivers and challenges, as a generally fragmented base of application developers seeks to gain traction and grow shipment volumes, and the market looks ahead to the potential impact of 4G technologies.

This market database focuses on the market for cellular M2M connectivity. It provides historical and forecast data for cellular M2M embedded module shipments and revenue, as well as cumulative cellular M2M connections and annual connectivity service revenue. All historical and forecast data is segmented by region, application, and air interface standard. In addition, the database provides cellular M2M module vendor market shares for 2003-2008 based on ABI Research’s estimates of these vendors’ total unit shipments.

The Forecast Database is the result of a three-stage process: information collection from primary and secondary sources, information organizations, and information analysis. Unit shipment information was sourced from relevant module vendors, who also provided approximate ASP information and insight into overall shipment and ASP trends. In addition, ABI Research also took a "top down" approach in compiling this database, estimating the likely TAM over time for the main deployment segments and regions noted.

Data are analyzed for seven world regions (Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa), as well as for key countries within each region. Subscriber trends are based on information available in regulator-published data, press releases, and trade journals, in conjunction with insights developed from research interviews and our historically collected data sets.

Clean Telecoms Market Data

This Excel package provides a roundup of mobile network and mobile device energy, recycling and lifecycle management. Mobile handset manufacturers are working to reduce the environmental footprint their products leave during the manufacturing process and throughout their lifecycles. Regulatory pressures and corporate responsibility mandates are forcing the issue on one level, and on another, voluntary initiatives by some vendors are leading to more “eco-friendly" handset models and programs. The impact will be seen in the volume of handsets that come back through recycling programs, and in the amount of e-waste the industry leaves behind.

This analysis examines the mechanisms being put in place by carriers and network infrastructure OEMs to reduce power consumption, ranging from network optimization to hardware integration, power amplifier efficiency, and software-based dynamic asset dimensioning. The report also considers the opportunity to integrate renewable energy sources into the primary power sources for cell sites, focusing on solar, wind, and hybrid solutions combining renewable cells, grid-based electricity, diesel generation, and battery banks.
