And in parallel with this expansion, everything from e-commerce to online media to B2B applications will grow rapidly.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This growth is driven by one of the world’s most vibrant mobile markets: Indonesia’s huge and growing mobile market now has 278 million subscribers, 15% of mobile users already have smartphones, and the mobile ad market delivered around 200 billion impressions last year, second only to the US. On top of this, Indonesia is in the top five countries for both Facebook and Twitter usage, with Jakarta being the world’s most active Twitter city.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indonesia’s internet market is likely to offer some of the biggest opportunities for tech investors in Asia over the coming decade.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>A huge consumer market that experiences step-change growth spurts</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indonesia’s middle-class is already big, and it’s booming. It will double over the next seven years to 85 million people, and by 2030 there will be 135 million middle-class consumers. At that point, Indonesia’s economy will be the 7th largest in the world, exceeding the economies of both Germany and the UK.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indonesia is a young, tech-savvy nation, full of people who are extremely enthusiastic to own and use the latest gadgets and technologies. The main barrier to ownership is not interest or desire, it is price.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So the fact that consumer expenditure is increasing at the same time as technologies are becoming cheaper means that the price-affordability balance for the average Indonesian can change very quickly. Indonesia experiences massive step-changes of growth as waves of pent-up demand are suddenly satisfied when the technology hits key price points.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And no less than 60% of Indonesia’s economy comes from domestic demand, so Indonesia is a huge consumer market.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: \'Times New Roman\'; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; color: #333333; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\">A unique tech sector in Asia</span></b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN;\">Indonesia is both a young country (with an average age of 28) and is enjoying the payoff of a demographic dividend (i.e. the proportional size of the working population is still growing). Unlike China, which faces the upcoming challenges of an aging population, and India which must manage huge population growth, Indonesia has the dual tailwinds of healthy population growth rates and a steadily expanding workforce.</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN;\">Indonesia’s youthfulness also leads to a very active tech sector.

Users can then make unlimited voice calls and conference calls in addition to sending standard text and multi-media messaging.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of the services offer a wide variety of distinctive emoticons, stickers and ring tones which in turn enable users to create a personal identity amongst their peer groups - family, friends and business associates - when they are active within the application.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, Informa estimate that on average each app user is currently sending 33 messages per day compared to just five standard text messages per day, in excess of a 6X uplift in the typical engagement level.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is happening in Indonesia?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indonesians are highly social digitally and as such have embraced this new generation of instant messaging applications with great enthusiasm. The latest available numbers illustrate the explosive demand in Indonesia:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>LINE has attracted 10 million users since launch in early 2013, with 25 million  app downloads from the LINE suite already recorded</li>\r\n	<li>Kakao Talk added 120,000 new users per day in the second quarter of 2013</li>\r\n	<li>WeChat has grown its Indonesian user base fifty fold since their February 2013 launch</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The OTT providers have already recognised the criticality of in-market localisation and service innovation in Indonesia. This effort is necessary in order to sustain the rate of adoption and engagement - principally through positive word-of-mouth.</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Kakao Talk has hired Indonesian designers to conceive and implement a portfolio of local emoticons</li>\r\n	<li>LINE has mounted a series of localised sticker campaigns, including a WWF Earth Day donation drive and a Ramadan-themed campaign</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The market in Indonesia is ripe for further penetration as smartphone adoption accelerates (currently at around 20% of the installed base) and the middle class demographic group continues to expand (growing at 9 million per year).</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What’s next for chat apps?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is most intriguing for industry commentators and investors is the potential of these providers to ‘move up the stack’ i.e. by integrating the individual chat/IM apps into a unified social networking platform. Given their current momentum, the potential exists for these new generation platforms to go head-to-head with the Internet giants such as Facebook, Yahoo and Google.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In response to market demand, these chat/IM app providers are already offering an ever-broader array of features, ranging from ‘basic’ communications i.e. messaging and content-sharing (photos, videos, location information) to ‘advanced’ functionality such as the exchange of virtual goods (e.g. emoticons, stickers, graphics), apps downloads (games and puzzles) and collaborative content origination (e.g. sketching).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With their embedded position at the core of the social circles of millions of users, these service providers are becoming hot acquisition targets. Google were rumoured to be readying a near-USD 1bn. bid for WhatsApp earlier this year.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In effect, the ‘winner takes all’ race has already begun.</p>\r\n\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>How will the mobile operators respond?</b></h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This shift in technology and customer sentiment has big implications for mobile operators, with significant traffic volumes for conventional voice calling and text messaging being switched to these new applications. Moreover the impact on top line revenues and operating profits is an increasing cause for concern for their shareholders.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Initially, the OTT providers were competing on price alone, but as they have broadened their service offerings they are demonstrating a stronger value proposition to their customers. As such the operators are being forced to respond - there are a number of strategic options open to them:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Compete </b>- By enriching the perceived value of existing service plans and data packages, thereby incenting subscribers to favour existing network operator voice and messaging services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Collaborate</b> - Partner with OTT providers to provide blended service propositions and usage plans, while maintain separate brand identities for network operator and OTT services</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Emulate</b> - Integrate operator-branded OTT-equivalent services into existing portfolio and encourage switching of users from OTT platforms</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Indonesia the operators are actively engaged in countering this threat from the OTT providers and winning back lost messaging activity:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Axis has partnered with Viber to offer customers a ‘Viber-only’ user plan, thus avoiding the expense of subscribing to a full service data plan</li>\r\n	<li>XL Axiata provide a free activation and data package for all users of WeChat</li>\r\n	<li>Telkomsel,  Indosat and XL each offer free data usage for KaKao Talk users</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile BRTI, the telecoms regulatory body in Indonesia, in partnership with the leading mobile operators is planning to implement a ‘Messaging Indonesia’ platform. This initiative is designed to deliver a multi-carrier, cross-platform instant message and multimedia content delivery network - with domestic routing in order to minimize operating costs and to offer consumers a high quality and secure messaging solution.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The position of the mobile operators as the main providers of real-time communications for the consumer market is being seriously undermined by the innovation and agility shown by the OTT providers.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to reassert their dominant market position the operators will need to outsmart and outpace this new breed of competitors - it will be a fascinating battle to watch.</p>','Messaging is the ‘category-killer’ mobile app','','trash','closed','open','','messaging-is-the-category-killer-mobile-app','','','2013-09-03 13:06:43','2013-09-03 13:06:43','',0,'http://redwingconsulting.com/?p=2537',0,'post','',0),(2540,1,'2013-07-28 10:55:03','2013-07-28 10:55:03','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2539\" alt=\"Post - chat apps graphic\" src=\"http://redwingconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Post-chat-apps-graphic.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" />\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Publish a personalised profile.
