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.

Interview with Vincent Garnier, Director General, on what's next beyond FTTH build for the European market

Keely Portway speaks to Vincent Garnier, Director General at the FTTH Council Europe, to discuss the state of play for European rollouts, the technical leap toward 50G PON, and why the industry is shifting its focus from coverage to value creation.

As the industry prepares for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London this April, the narrative surrounding fibre deployment is changing. No longer just a race to pass homes, the conversation has matured into a debate over performance, migration, and the role of fibre as a critical national asset.

Help us create a brighter future!
