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.

In this keynote address, Vincent Garnier, Director General of the FTTH Council Europe, presented exclusive insights from the latest FTTH Market Panorama, offering a comprehensive view of fibre deployment trends across Europe. Drawing on detailed, country-by-country data, he explored how different markets are progressing toward full-fibr coverage, highlighting leaders in both rollout and adoption, as well as identifying those regions just beginning to gain momentum.

The keynote examined the evolution of the copper switch-off, regulatory dynamics shaping deployment strategies, and the growing divide between urban and rural fiber access. With a focus on Romania’s role within the European landscape, Vincent Garnier showcased how the country compares to EU benchmarks and its potential to emerge as a regional frontrunner in digital infrastructure. This session offered strategic reflections on what lies ahead for Europe’s journey toward a truly connected, gigabit-enabled future.
