“I think the telcos will benefit from two particular drivers: 5G adoption and increased roaming activity,” says Maybank Securities’ head of research Thilan Wickramasinghe, who expects average revenue per user (ARPU) to increase for the major telcos.
Singapore’s telco sector is expected to see a brisk recovery as roaming revenues bounce back due to the reopening of borders and the resumption of air travel.
Apart from giving this a boost in roaming revenues and prepaid SIM cards, more consumers are embracing 5G to enhance their user experience, increasing uptake rates.
