Nokia: Markt in Thailand wird weiter wachsen

BANGKOK - Der thailändische Mobilfunkmarkt wird ungeachtet der politischen Unruhen weiter wachsen. Dies sagte der örtliche Vertreter der finnischen Nokia Oyj (WKN: 870737) der Bangkok Post.

Zuletzt hatte es Unruhen gegeben, weil Ministerpräsident Thaksin Shinawatra seinen eigenen Konzern für 1,9 Mrd. US-Dollar steuerfrei verkauft hatte. Dies werde die wirtschaftliche Lage in dem Tigerstaat aber nicht beeinflussen. „Wir haben keine negativen Effekte auf unser Geschäft gesehen. Seit Beginn der Unruhen im Januar haben unsere Absätze ein kontinuierliches Wachstum gezeigt“, sagte Bob McDougall, Managing Director von Nokia Thailand.

Allein 2005 wurden in Thailand 7,9 Millionen Mobiltelefone verkauft. Drei Millionen Geräte gingen dabei an Erstnutzer. In diesem Jahr soll insgesamt die Marke von acht Millionen verkauften Geräten durchbrochen werden. Nokia möchte dabei die Marktführerschaft verteidigen.

Der thailändische Markt bietet dabei noch Wachstumschancen, auch wenn er relativ weit entwickelt ist. Die Penetrationsrate sprang von sechs Prozent im Jahr 2004, auf 42,5 Prozent in 2005. Solche Entwicklungen locken ausländische Unternehmen an. SingTel aus Singapur, Telenor aus Norwegen und der chinesische Mischkonzern Hutchison Whampoa haben unter anderem einen Fuß in der thailändischen Tür. Allerdings will Nokia in diesem Jahr mit einem Produktfeuerwerk die Wettbewerber weiter in Schach halten. So sei die Einführung von 35 bis 40 neue Handy-Modelle geplant. (ndi/ami)

NOKIA STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE March 30, 2006

Nokia outlines industry dynamics and growth at AGM
Increases estimate for 2006 mobile device market volume growth to 15% or more

Nokia Annual General Meeting, Helsinki, Finland – Speaking today at Nokia’s
AGM, company Chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila traced the rapid rise of mobile
communications and described the nature of the industry today.

“There is huge diversity between geographic areas and markets in terms of
consumer preferences and behavior,” he said. “In addition to continuous growth
in voice communication, other industries like music and digital imaging are
quickly becoming more integral to mobility.”

Ollila described how the size, growth and dynamics of emerging markets are
increasingly driving demand. He repeated the company’s earlier statements that
Nokia expects approximately 80% of the next billion subscribers to come from
the emerging markets, and that Nokia expects the global mobile subscriber base
to reach three billion during 2008.

Ollila also gave a revised estimate for mobile device market volume growth in
2006. “Due to strong subscriber growth, we have now updated our global mobile
device market volume estimate for this year,” said Ollila. “Nokia estimates
that in the year 2006, the mobile device market volume will increase globally
15% or more from our estimate of 795 million units in 2005. Previously, we
estimated that the global mobile device market volume would grow 10% or more
this year from last year’s estimate.”

In concluding, Ollila spoke about what he expects from Nokia and the industry
in the future. “I believe that Nokia is well placed for some new innovative
leaps,” he said. “We have seen the first era of an industry that I have no
doubt will continue to transform for many years to come.”
