Key Findings

• Panama's telecom and pay-TV market generated an estimated $1.4bn in service revenue in 2014, 5.4% more than in 2013. The mobile voice and data segments alone generated 65.5% of total revenue for the segment in 2014, while the fixed broadband Internet, voice and pay-TV segments accounted for the remaining 34.5%.
• Panama's penetration rate of 172.4% is well above the Latin American average of 119.5%. Panama's unusually high penetration rate is mainly due to a higher incidence of multi-SIM ownership, resulting from price-conscious users acquiring several prepaid SIM cards in order to benefit from as many low-cost deals as possible.
• By year-end 2014, Panama reached a fixed voice penetration of population rate of 15.2%, in line with the Latin America average of 15.1%. Over the forecast period, we expect that the fixed voice penetration rate will continue declining to 13.5% by year-end 2019
