CDMA Is the Fastest Growing Technology Worldwide - report
November 19, 2003
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) announced that the subscriber base for
3G CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO has expanded by 10.5 million in 3Q 2003 to
reach 64.5 million users, while the total number of CDMA users worldwide
grew to 174 million during the period.
“CDMA2000 is expanding rapidly and is contributing to significant advancements
of CDMA across the globe. The CDMA2000 subscriber base doubled during
the first nine months of 2003, and operators are reporting that high demand
for CDMA2000 services is spurring growth in net additions and boosting
revenues.” said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. “We expect
this trend to continue and anticipate that the CDMA2000 base will reach
75 million by the end of the year.”
CDMA2000 is the clear leader in data services. According to the EMC Database,
CDMA2000 accounted for 54 percent of data users worldwide and 74 percent
in regions outside Western Europe in 2Q 2003. While only 2 percent of
worldwide GSM subscribers use GPRS data services, more than 14 percent
of CDMA subscribers utilize CDMA2000 data services.
CDMA continues to be the fastest growing technology worldwide. In the
year between September 2002 and 2003, CDMA added more than 39 million
subscribers, which represents 29 percent growth compared to 24 percent
for GSM, 7 percent for TDMA and 20 percent for the overall industry. CDMA
will continue to capture greater market share and, according to Deutsche
Bank, its share will double to reach 26 percent by 2008, with 60 percent
of CDMA subscribers using CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV-DO or 1xEV-DV.
Asia-Pacific was the fastest growing region for CDMA technologies, fueled
by rapid expansion in key markets China and India. Carriers in the Asia-Pacific
region added 21 million new CDMA subscribers in the past year, which represented
42 percent annual growth. In India, CDMA has reached more than 5.5 million
subscribers and is growing at a rate of 700,000 per month.
In the Americas, CDMA carriers added 18 million new subscribers in the
past year to reach 102 million users. In the U.S, CDMA continues to be
the technology of preference. According to the EMC database, CDMA subscribers
accounted for 44 percent of all U.S. wireless subscribers in Q3, compared
to 26 percent for TDMA and 15 percent for GSM. The CDMA2000 base grew
2.5 times in the Americas, and today, one in four CDMA users in the region
has access to 3G services.
The third quarter of 2003 also saw the deployment of 10 new CDMA2000
networks. There are currently 71 live networks in 36 countries across
six continents.
Additional subscriber statistics and CDMA2000 deployment information
