About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit. 
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

2025 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

The 2025 edition of the FTTH/B Market Panorama presents the latest insights into FTTH/B coverage and adoption in Europe as of September 2024. The country-specific report, compiled by the Market Intelligence Committee and IDATE, provides data-driven insights on key performance indicators such as homes passed, subscribers, take-up rate, coverage rate, and penetration rate, along with trends and growth patterns observed over the past few years.

This report offers a comprehensive overview of Europe’s progress toward full fiber connectivity, with FTTH/B coverage in the EU39 region reaching 74.6% and the take-up rate increasing to 53.1%. Despite steady growth, the FTTH penetration rate for the last 3 years remains at 32.9%, highlighting the ongoing challenge of driving adoption.

While the overall trend is positive, market dynamics vary significantly across countries, with some nations leading in coverage and adoption, while others still face obstacles in deployment and user uptake. This edition introduces a country-focused approach, allowing for a more detailed analysis of national trends, challenges, and opportunities in the FTTH/B landscape.
