209 leaders of the Asian tower industry gathered on 24 and 25 November at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore for the 2nd annual TowerXchange Meetup Asia, with executive level representatives from 25 different towercos, including 12 of the 15 biggest towercos in Asia, plus their partners from MNOs, solution providers, investors and advisory firms.
TowerXchange’s sold out expo highlighted passive infrastructure equipment and service providers from across the tower ecosystem, and the attendees benefitted from over five hours of insights and best practices during the roundtable breakouts. The world-famous Marina Bay Sands hotel once again provided the ideal setting for such a prestigious gathering of tower industry and telecoms professionals.
72% of the attendees at the TowerXchange Meetup Asia were Director, VP or CXO level

Audience profile, TowerXchange Meetup Asia 2015
The Asian tower market
The Asian tower market has seen deal flow return over the past year with major transactions taking place in markets including India, Indonesia, and Australia. 2015 also saw the creation of the world’s largest towerco, China Tower Company with an estimated 1,160,000 towers. For the first time there are more towers worldwide in towerco hands than operator hands, marking a major transition and the increasing acceptance of the independent towerco business model.
TowerXchange predict strong growth in towerco penetration in 2016, with transactions likely in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and potentially Thailand. Other markets to watch include India where we expect another 50,000 towers to be rolled out and where BSNL is in the process of spinning off its assets into a new towers.
