According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan telecom operators in 2022 will launch a merger and continue to sprint for 5G users. Industry insiders estimate that with the support of 5G mobile phones and applications, this year, the 5G users in Taiwan, China will be expected to exceed 7.5 million, with an impact of 8 million. The penetration rate of 5G will reach 30%, and there is a chance to "sit in all fours and threes" in the global ranking.
According to statistics from the Taiwan Communications Communication Commission (NCC), as of the end of last year, the number of mobile broadband users in Taiwan in China reached 29.58 million, of which the "Taiwan Telecom Three Heroes" 5G users accounted for 20% of the overall monthly rent user penetration rate and grew steadily. GSMA statistics show that as of the first quarter of 2022, the 5G penetration rate in Taiwan, China reached 25.06%, ranking fifth in the world; the top four are: South Korea 44.92%, mainland China 36.82%, Hong Kong 29.62%, and Japan 25.49%.
It is reported that Taiwan’s “Three Telecoms” China Telecom , Taiwan Da, and Far Transmission Telecom target 5G penetration rate this year will reach 30%. Taiwan Star and Asia Pacific Telecom are also actively expanding 5G users.
Since the end of last year, Taiwan University announced the merger of Taiwan Star, and Yuanshi Telecom announced the merger of Asia Pacific Telecom. The number of users of "New Taiwan University" will reach 9.8 million, and the number of users of "New Yuanshi" is 9.2 million, both of which will be close to the 11.92 million of the leading Zhonghua Telecom. The merger of and of the New Taiwan University and NEWS are scheduled for September 30, but the industry believes that according to the review procedures, it may not be expected to pass the review by the competent authority until the end of the year.
However, before the merger, Taiwan Star and Asia Pacific Telecom still set 5G growth targets, and Taiwan Star's 5G penetration rate will challenge 35% to 40%; Asia Pacific Telecom's target 5G penetration rate will increase by 20 percentage points.
