India’s mobile services market is expected to grow 8% to Rs.1.2 trillion in 2013 but will account for only 2% of the worldwide mobile services revenue as operators are struggling to increase profit margins, research firm Gartner said on Monday.The revenues from mobile services stood at Rs.1.1 trillion in 2012, Gartner said in a statement. According to Gartner, mobile connections in the country are expected to grow to 770 million in 2013, up 11% from 712 million connections in 2012. “The mobile market in India will continue to face challenges if average revenue per unit (ARPU) does not grow significantly.” Source
