Telecom market to drop by 0.7% this year

Poland’s telecommunications market should reach PLN 44.4 billion in 2014, according to a PMR report quoted by ISBnews. In year-on-year terms the market will contract by 0.7 percent. In 2013, the value of the telecommunications market was PLN 44.7 billion and it declined by 4 percent compared to 2012. The decline was largely influenced by the mobile telephony segment and the land-line segment also continued to fall, at a double-digit pace. PMR analysts stressed that the sector will find it hard to grow organically and will mostly be able to do so as new housing is built. The structure of the market is stable, the report said.
