Market background
Brazil is the largest telecommunications market in Latin America and is regarded by global telecommunications operators and terminal hardware suppliers as the best place to enter Latin America. Driven by international events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, Brazil has seen a new round of consumption and investment boom. By then, not only will the deployment of fixed-line and mobile broadband be accelerated, but the demand for smartphones, tablets, various mobile applications and other wireless products will also increase significantly. Although Brazil ranks ninth in the world and first in Latin America in fixed broadband user base, its fixed broadband penetration rate is only slightly higher than the Latin American average and lags behind Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Although Brazil has implemented telecommunications liberalization, broadband prices are lower than most Latin American countries, and Internet speeds are among the best in Latin America, there is still a big gap compared with mature countries and regions around the world. According to ITU (International Telecommunication Union) statistics, the total population of Brazil was 193 million in 2010, and the mobile phone penetration rate exceeded 100%. The total number of mobile phone users currently reaches 203 million, which is much higher than the total population of Brazil. As of the second quarter of 2011, the number of mobile users in Brazil has reached 217.3 million, with a penetration rate of 111.6%. Currently, Huawei and ZTE, which have long-term investments in Brazil, have achieved huge returns. International giants such as Apple, HP, Microsoft, Asus, and NEC also attach great importance to the Brazilian market and regard it as a profit growth point. Therefore, fixed broadband and mobile broadband technologies, as well as the mobile terminal market, are undoubtedly the first decisive points for manufacturers to enter Brazil.
Market characteristics: In terms of communication products, according to Brazilian government regulations, any communication product must first pass the certification of the Brazilian Communications Authority (Anatel). The industry must submit the product to an inspection institute recognized by the Brazilian Communications Authority for testing. After passing the inspection, The institute will issue an inspection certificate, upon which operators can apply to the Brazilian Communications Authority for certification before they can sell their products. After the operator is certified by the Brazilian Communications Authority, it must submit its products to the technical departments of major Brazilian telephone service companies such as Telemar, Brasil Telecom and Telefonica for testing. Only after passing the test and providing a maintenance guarantee can it be included in the qualified supply of the communications company. When major telephone service companies need to purchase, they will notify qualified suppliers to provide quotations. Due to the complicated procedures and the requirement for inspection and certification, this market is not prone to gray markets and is dominated by large-scale clothing suppliers.
