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

 

 

Investors Committee Advances Investment Narrative and Strengthens Engagement with TMT Investment Community

The Investors Committee continues to advance its work on strengthening the investment narrative for the fibre sector, supported by the latest update of the Investment Tracker, presented during the FTTH Conference 2026.

The updated data indicates that investment activity has remained relatively limited so far in 2026, reflecting a more cautious market environment and increased selectivity from investors. This trend underlines the importance of reinforcing confidence in the sector and clearly articulating the long-term value of fibre infrastructure investments.

In response, the Committee is intensifying efforts to refine a strong, consistent investment narrative, ensuring it reflects current market conditions while highlighting the resilience and strategic importance of fibre networks for Europe’s digital future.

In parallel, the Committee is expanding engagement with the broader TMT investment community, including a partnership with the Tech Capital event, aimed at strengthening dialogue with investors, analysts, and financial stakeholders.

These actions aim to support renewed investment momentum and ensure the fibre sector remains attractive in an evolving financial landscape.

Help us create a brighter future!
