Key Trends And Developments

The combination of a solid growth outlook amid robust demand, high EBITDA margins and a favourable regulatory environment bode well for Indonesian tower players.

As operators apportion more capex towards coverage rollout, demand for tower sites and base stations will grow.

Indonesian tower companies benefit from a favourable regulatory regime, which prevents foreign companies from owning tower firms and encourages the telecoms operators to share towers rather than building single-tenancy tower sites.
