Emerging Markets Focus of Mobile World Congress: Financing May Accelerate Growth of First-time Mobile Handset Buyers
Mobile industry executives at last week's Mobile World Congress agreed that the key to expanding mobile adoption will be to offer lower-cost handsets to low-income buyers in emerging markets. However, a recent report by Vital Wave Consulting -- Strategies to Accelerate Handset Financing -- points out that corporations can address affordability and maintain margins by ensuring access to financing for handsets.
The key to accelerating sales to near-term handset buyers is tapping into existing financing mechanisms, according to Karen Coppock, vice president of consulting services at Vital Wave. "Low cost is very different than affordable," says Coppock. "Consumers who may not be able to afford even low-cost phones can purchase handsets when financing options are available. In addition, appropriate financing mechanisms may speed the adoption of more expensive, feature-rich handsets in developing countries."
