The telecommunication market in Canada generated US$42.4bn (CAD54.2bn) in service revenue in 2015, and will continue to grow in single low digits through 2020. Mobile data will be the fastest growing segment. To offset the decline in traditional fixed and mobile voice and messaging services, operators are focusing on increasing broadband penetration and leveraging high speed broadband networks to offer value added services such as mobile apps, internet browsing and multi-media services, and offering TV and Internet bundles. Operators are investing in LTE, LTE-A and fiber to enable additional revenue streams including IoT, cloud services and M2M services.

3. ABSTRACT
The telecommunication market in Canada generated US$42.4bn (CAD54.2bn) in service revenue
in 2015, and will continue to grow in single low digits through 2020. Mobile data will be the
fastest growing segment. To offset the decline in traditional fixed and mobile voice and messaging
services, operators are focusing on increasing broadband penetration and leveraging high speed
broadband networks to offer value added services such as mobile apps, internet browsing and
multi-media services, and offering TV and Internet bundles. Operators are investing in LTE, LTE-A
and fiber to enable additional revenue streams including IoT, cloud services and M2M services.
Key Findings
* The overall telecom service revenue in Canada declined year-over-year to US$42.4bn
(CAD54.2bn) in 2015.
* From 2015 to 2020, the telecommunications market in Canada will see service revenue
increase by single, low digits on an annual basis, boosted mainly by mobile and fixed data
segments
* Mobile revenue will account for a greater proportion of total telecommunications revenue in
2020.
* The Canadian telecom market will be dominated by Bell as the leading mobile and fixed-line
operator followed by Telus and Rogers. Intense competition in the market will require operators
to invest heavily in network infrastructure which could enable them to venture into services
beyond provisioning of access such as IoT and cloud computing
