China Software Market Forecast to 2012

Traditionally, China has been widely known for its world-class low cost manufacturing facilities. But the ongoing battle to make China a ‘hi-tech’ service-based economy has fuelled growth in the domestic software industry in recent years. Factors encouraging the software players (both domestic and foreign) to enter the Chinese software industry include government support, easy access to rapidly developing IT infrastructure, vast domestic potential and availability of low cost resources, says “China Software Market Forecast to 2012”, a new research report by RNCOS.

The Chinese software industry registered strong growth of more than 30% in 2008, indicating that the industry has not been impacted by the ongoing global economic crisis. The Chinese government’s continuous efforts in the form of IT investment, construction of software parks, and provision of quick approvals to secure international investment have largely driven the software industry amidst global downturn.

Besides, the rapid growth in IT spending among various industrial segments, including government, banking and manufacturing, has helped the industry to flourish and the same is likely to propel the domestic software industry over the forecasted period, anticipates the report.

Turkey Telecom Sector Forecast to 2012

Largely driven by the government initiatives aimed at the liberalization and privatization of the sector to introduce competition, the Turkish telecom sector has shown tremendous growth in past few years. Coupled with this, the favorable demographics of the country, together with rising disposable income and a desire to avail hi-tech telecom services, are propelling the domestic telecom market.

Turkey has low fixed-line, Internet and broadband penetrations, offering huge potential for their future development. The fixed-line sector remains underdeveloped, and various factors such as high tariffs and absence of fixed-line networks, have been hindering its growth, says our new research report, “Turkey Telecom Sector Forecast to 2012”.

Mobile services, on the other hand, penetrated nearly 83% of the Turkish population in 2007 and are projected to surpass 100% in next few years. As the mobile market will approach saturation during the forecasted period, operators will resort to offering Value Added Services (VAS) to drive their revenues. The recent announcement by the government to allow Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is further expected to lead to true competition in the sector.

Because competition in the telecom sector is intensifying, operators are now looking for new sources of revenue generation to sustain and gain their market share. This is prompting them to introduce such new technologies as 3G, IPTV and WiMAX in the country. Hence, operators in the region are aggressively pushing the deployment of network infrastructure suitable for these technologies.
