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.

France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Turkey and Spain are the fastest growing markets in terms of new Fibre-to-the-Home/Building (FTTH/FTTB) subscribers, according to the ‘European FTTH/B Market Panorama 2025’ published by the FTTH Council Europe.

Published ahead of the annual FTTH Conference (Amsterdam, 25-27 March 2025), the report details the notable progress made across Europe last year, with the number of homes passed with FTTH/FTTB across EU39 increasing by 25 million between September 2023 to September 2024. The FTTH/B take up rate also raised to 53% in the EU39 area during this period (up by 3,4 percentage points from the previous year). However the report also indicates that more must be done to reach the European Commision’s 2030 Digital Decade objectives, as only 1 in 4 countries within the region have a penetration rate beyond 50%.
