Pyramid Research expects the Indonesian telecom market, worth US$11.9 billion in service revenue in 2010, to be one of the fastest growing telecom markets in Asia/Pacific and worldwide, expanding at a 10.3 percent CAGR over the next five years. "Home to the fourth largest population in the world, Indonesia is also characterized by relatively low penetration levels across most services, which will enable further growth in the fixed, mobile, broadband and pay-TV markets during the next five years," indicates Leslie Arathoon, Director at Pyramid Research.

"Indonesia's pay-TV market is characterized by a very low household penetration, which reached 3 percent in 2010," says Arathoon. Pyramid expects this figure to expand to 7 percent by 2015, driven by an improving economic situation and the greater market competition since PT Telkom-owned Telkomvision entered the market in 2007. Indovision, Telkomvision and First Media dominate the market, with about 95 percent of total pay-TV subscribers in 2010. "The first two operate a DTH network, and the third a cable network, but Telkomvision will launch the nation's first IPTV solution during 2011," she notes. Despite benefiting from Telkom's ability to offer triple-play bundles, IPTV will account for only 6 percent of total pay-TV accounts by year-end 2015. "With the country's geography working in its favor, DTH will remain the dominant technology, accounting for about 88 percent of total pay-TV subscriptions through 2015. The most negatively affected from IPTV's entry will be cable, whose market share will shrink from 10 percent to only 6 percent in 2015," she adds.
