Key Findings

- With an estimated revenue of $1.0bn in 2014 (or 4.1% of GDP), the telecom services market in El Salvador is the second smallest in Latin American region. The mobile voice and data segments alone generated 65.3% of the total revenue of the sector, while the fixed broadband, fixed voice and pay-TV segments accounted for 34.7%.

- El Salvador closed 2013 with 8.7m active subscribers and a penetration rate of 137.6%, above the Latin American average (117.2%), as well as other Central American countries such as Nicaragua (106.5%) and Honduras (92.3%). We project that El Salvador's mobile subscriber base will continue expanding during the 2013-2019 period (1.3% CAGR), adding nearly 690,000 new subscribers by 2019, equivalent to a penetration rate of 143.9%.

- El Salvador's fixed-line penetration rate at year-end 2013, 13.9%, is considerably below the Latin American average of 15.9% but above other Central American nations such as Bolivia (7.4%) and Nicaragua (5.3%). We expect that fixed-line penetration will continue declining over the forecast period, reaching 13.5% in 2014 and 11.3% by year-end 2019.

- El Salvador ended 2013 with 261,000 pay-TV accounts and a household penetration rate of 15.9%, substantially below the Latin American average (41.3%) but above other Central American countries with similar macroeconomic fundamentals such as Guatemala (7.0%). We believe there is still room for moderate growth, particularly in the DTH segment, and project a 4.5% CAGR in pay-TV subscriptions from 2014 to 2019.
