Research from: Informa Telecoms and Media
Sector: Handsets & Devices
The telecom retail and distribution market is shifting from being dominated by telecom operators to an increasing number of independent retailers and handset manufacturers going directly after the end customer. With telecom devices increasingly entering the consumer electronics space, operators will need to implement disruptive changes in their current retail models. Multichannel integration, the implementation of concept stores and an evolution of digital channels are some examples of the operators’ challenges.
Independent retailers are also investing to increase their share in the telecom markets. Specialists and mass-market retailers are opting for various different strategies that range from adding connectivity to consumer electronics devices to opening specialized stores that offer independent advice to consumers. Different players are adopting different strategies at what is a very disruptive moment in the telecom retail market, with the emerging conceptual stores (e.g. Apple Stores) and the growing importance of digital channels.
The Telecom Retail and Distribution research stream includes Informa Telecom & Media’s updated forecast on the current and future status of the value of the global retail market for the period 2010-2016. This includes not only total retail device revenues segmented by region and by device segment (non-smartphones, smartphones and tablets), but also divides up the retail sector by channel owner (operators, specialist retailers, mass-market retailers) as well as by channel type (bricks & mortar, online and telesales).
