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.

Insights from the Committee

 

 

DE&I Committee Advances ESG Analysis and Launches New Mentoring Initiative

During the winter period, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee worked closely with the Sustainability and Investors Committees on an in-depth analysis of ESG key performance indicators across the FTTH industry. This joint effort aimed to better understand how ESG metrics are measured and applied throughout the sector.

The insights from this work formed the basis of an ESG Survey, conducted in February among member companies and analysed ahead of the FTTH Conference 2026. The results were presented during both the DEI Committee workshop (“The value of DEI in ESG strategy, organizational resilience and investor trust”) and the ESG Panel (“ESG and Fibre investment strategies”). These discussions provided a clearer picture of current ESG financing tools and the key KPIs used by members.

The findings will be consolidated into a White Paper, to be published by the FTTH Council Europe.

Looking ahead, the Committee will launch a mentoring platform within the Member Engagement Platform, connecting members seeking guidance with experienced professionals willing to mentor within the sector.

In addition, following strong interest in the Conference workshop, the Committee will organise a webinar to broaden access to the topics discussed and ensure wider participation across the community. Details will be shared soon.

Help us create a brighter future!
