Pakistan's telecommunications market is one of the most underdeveloped in Asia Pacific. The regulator has successfully auctioned its 3G licences, paving the way for higher value-added services (VAS) to be introduced to the market.

BMI View: Malaysia's telecommunications sector enjoys high levels of service penetration, owing to highly focused investment in advanced broadband infrastructure and supporting services and solutions. Wireless and wireline non-voice services account for an increasingly large proportion of operators' revenues, and this is encouraging them to reinvest heavily in next-generation infrastructure, including fibre-to-the-home and 4G LTE. However, this emphasis on broadband means falling demand for traditional v o ice telephone services has accelerated , while operator-provided mobile voice and messaging services have come under threat from network-agnostic over-the-top (OTT) competitors. As BMI has already noted, this has hit operator financial performance. Tackling the issue will be critical for operators over the medium term.

Consumers' growing preference for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and increasing internet penetration encouraged service providers to build payment solutions based around mobile devices. Technological improvements in cloud computing and the use of open application programming interfaces (APIs) are also supporting the emergence of cost-effective solutions for cashless payments. The increased revenue potential due to the low cost of innovative payment solutions and the burgeoning market for digital payments are attracting investments from venture firms and participants in the payments industry, such as financial institutions, technology vendors and card scheme providers. Investments in e-commerce and online payments are the preferred investment sector followed by mobile payments and card processing services. An increase in e-commerce sales activities and expected further expansion has created strong revenue generation potential for investors and payment solution developers alike. New market entrants are experimenting with social media to capitalize on opportunities in using social networks as a platform for conducting e-commerce activities. There is also an increased focus on international money transfers and peer-to-peer (P2P) domestic transactions. Investments in mobile wallets also gained momentum in 2013, with their adoption expected to improve over the next five years. Among the various investment types - acquisitions, asset transaction and venture financing - venture financing leads investment activities in terms of the volume of deals made in the cards and payments industry. Venture capitalists also emerged as key investors for mobile payment developers. Unlike acquisitions and asset transactions, which involved single investors, venture financing deals registered participation from more than one investor. In terms of the regional dynamics, North America and Europe collectively accounted for majority of investment deals made in the cards and payments industry during last five years. Investment activities have been limited in the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. However, the growing use of cards, large consumer markets and flexible regulatory environments are expected to make these regions key areas of investment over the forecast period.

For example, Milo and Ovaltine are common breakfast beverages for children and students.

Oat-based hot cereals on the other hand appeal to many adults due to the calcium content, ability to lower cholesterol and also the fibre content which helps digestion.

Other hot drinks in Tunisia is becoming increasingly concentrated, with the two leading operators accounting for a 74% off-trade value share in 2013. Moreover, the combined share of these two payers increased by two percentage points from the previous year; the category is characterised by a kind of duopoly which is limiting growth. These companies are both Tunisian and benefit from strong brand equity and popularity among both young and adult customers. Their chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks are well known in the country and consumers prefer to purchase these products rather than less well-known alternatives. These players focus on brand awareness rather than on innovation, a strategy that served to constrain growth in 2013; volume growth was slower in 2013 than in 2012.
