The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe. The survey is commissioned through an external partner and the role of the Committee is to complete and refine these data based on the comprehensive input coming from the network of experts from our 150 members active in all European countries.

FTTH members have access to a more detailed version of the report with granular information regarding the individual FTTH markets in each of the 39 countries surveyed.

Two more reports have been produced under initiative of the Market Intelligence Committee, and launched during the last FTTH Virtual Conference 2021: the latest figures of the FTTH Forecasts for 2021 and 2026 and an overview of fibre deployments in rural areas.

The Market Intelligence Committee is also involved in other studies such as Copper Switch Off, Best Practices in Fibre advertising and the Socio Economic Impact of FTTH.

The FTTH Council Europe is pleased to bring to you this first-of-its-kind study by Plum Consulting on FTTH adoption drivers and hurdles in Europe.

While we are pleased to see that the FTTH rollout coverage in Europe amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with significant differences at country level. This is where the study comes in as a clarion call on what needs to be done to increase the take-up. By carrying out a thorough analysis of the FTTH Council Europe data and doing a deep dive into 8 selected countries, Plum Consulting team has developed a series of recommendations of measures that both policymakers and industry executives will find useful when considering how to increase the FTTH adoption.

For the FTTH Council Europe this is only the first step in what we see as our industry’s next big challenge. We want to ensure that there is wide awareness about the results of this study, which would pave way for future actions aimed at increasing the FTTH take-up. In our view, high rate of FTTH adoption is key to ensure that our fellow citizens and businesses fully reap the benefits of full fibre connectivity.
