Key Trends And Developments
The combination of a solid growth outlook amid robust demand, high EBITDA margins and a favourable regulatory environment bode well for Indonesian tower players. The trend of rising smartphone and tablet adoption in Indonesia, driven by wireless data usage, has increased demand for base stations and tower rollouts. As operators apportion more capex towards coverage rollout, demand for tower sites and base stations will grow.
Indonesian tower companies benefit from a favourable regulatory regime, which prevents foreign companies from owning tower firms and encourages the telecoms operators to share towers rather than building single-tenancy tower sites. These factors explain why independent tower companies in Indonesia enjoyed one of the highest EBITDA margins in the tower business globally in 2013, close to 80%.
