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 Sustainability Committee contributed to the development of the Code of Conduct for the Sustainability of Telecommunication Networks, published in January 2026. This marks an important step toward positioning the telecom sector within the EU Taxonomy as a sustainable industry. The Code provides a framework to promote energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and greater transparency across the sector.

The Committee is now seeking further clarity on the applicability of certain standards outlined in the Code and will engage in discussions with relevant stakeholders in the coming months.

At the FTTH Conference, the Committee also presented initial findings from its ESG Survey, highlighting the growing importance of sustainable finance in the sector. Results show that ESG-linked financial products are becoming more widespread, while investors and shareholders are increasingly requesting ESG data from market players.

Building on this, work is underway on a White Paper on Sustainable Finance, combining survey insights with in-depth industry interviews. The publication is expected in June, providing further guidance on financing the transition to more sustainable fibre networks.
