Numerous factors, such as persistent inflation, weak real household income growth, high energy prices, and falling consumer confidence, are expected to curb economic growth. With the economic slowdown and lowering consumer spending, several industries will feel the brunt of the financial downfall in 2023. Like other sectors, the telecom industry is expected to witness the impact of the impending recession in various developed and developing regions. Various aspects, such as 5G deployment plans, tariffs, and introducing new services, would be directly impacted based on the economic outlook and trends prevailing in individual countries. For instance, in the case of developed regions such as North America and Western Europe, telecom companies would witness numerous effects, such as the demand for cheaper plans and changes in consumption patterns between fixed and mobile lines. However, developing regions might witness different impacts, such as delayed 5G deployments and lower demand for 5G-enabled devices due to lower consumer spending capacity.
Impact of recession on various Telecom business Lines
- 5G Industrial IoT: The impending recession would result in several businesses cutting operating costs, employee downsizing, and lowering technology spending across various industries. Organizations working on 5G private and public network projects, mainly from the manufacturing and transportation sectors, might consider delaying the expenditure toward such deployments.
- Private LTE: With an increasing number of organizations seeking to cut budgets and bring down operational costs, organizations might consider delaying or avoiding implementing private networks.
- 5G Services: Glooming economic conditions, coupled with lower consumer spending, might result in telecom companies witnessing a change in consumer preference toward data plans and subscriptions. Consumers might aim to lower their expenses on mobile data plans and focus more on their fixed-line Internet connections.
- OTT Services: Increasing number of people working from home would result in a higher demand for home entertainment solutions. As a result, the OTT services market is expected to witness significant growth.
Therefore, depending on the economic maturity of various geographic regions, the recession is expected to impact the telecom industry differently. In addition, based on service offerings, telecom companies are expected to witness varying levels of impact of the recession.
