Fixed Services Worldwide: Trends and Forecasts 2025-2030

"Fibre will account for around 82% of fixed broadband connections worldwide by 2030, which means that fibre monetisation will form the central challenge for fixed operators."

This report provides a 5-year forecast for fixed broadband (FBB) services worldwide for 2025–2030. It covers revenue, connections and access technology trends across eight regions worldwide. It examines how fibre migration, fixed-wireless access (FWA), satellite broadband, household penetration and regional affordability dynamics will shape telecoms operators' strategies for fixed broadband growth and monetisation.

This report provides:

• a 5-year forecast for fixed broadband services worldwide for 2025–2030, including projections for connections, revenue and access technology trends
• insight into how fibre migration, FWA and satellite broadband will shape operators' fixed connectivity strategies, helping vendors to identify where different access technologies will create commercial opportunities
• regional analysis covering Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, developed Asia–Pacific, emerging Asia–Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and North Africa, North America and sub-Saharan Africa
• an assessment of the market factors that will influence fixed broadband growth, including household penetration, affordability, ASPU trends, competition and operators' fibre deployment strategies.
