Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2013 -- BMI View: We retain our positive growth outlook for the Ugandan telecoms market in view of the relatively low penetration rates of voice and data services. However, ARPU erosion due to low income levels, especially outside the major cities, is a major disincentive for network upgrade and expansion projects needed to drive growth.

Key Data

- The mobile market grew by 3.8% in Q312, faster than average quarterly growth of 2.2% in H112.
- Mobile ARPU remained below US$4 in Q312 despite an uptick in mobile data subscriptions.
- The fixed-line market grew by 42.2% in 2011.

Risk/Reward Ratings

Uganda dropped four places to 19th position in BMI's Q113 RRR table due to a sharp downgrade of its Industry Rewards score. The country's rating in that category is held back by weak ARPUs, poor subscriber mix in the mobile sector and, consequently, weak financial performance by service providers. Uganda scores below the regional average in the industry rewards and country rewards categories but the average score in the industry risks and country risks categories.
