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.

Gender Diversity Survey: industry best practices and opportunities to improve

In order to lay the foundation to deliver on its commitment, the Women in Fibre Committee launched a survey to help establish a baseline view of gender diversity within the fibre industry and to support the work of the Committee in identifying industry best practices and opportunities to improve.

Find out what 280 respondents had to say about whether gender is a barrier to progression in the European fibre industry; if Diversity & Inclusion initiatives are having an impact in their organizations; the impact of COVID-19 on work life; and if flexible working practices have helped them balance work and life effectively.


The key findings of the Gender Diversity Survey have been presented during a webinar on 15 December 2021. The survey, discusses the impact of gender on career progression and access to training in the fibre industry, based on 280 responses from diverse industry professionals. It highlights that gender affects advancement to senior roles and provides insights into diversity and inclusion initiatives and flexible working practices introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Roshene McCool, Senior Market & Technology Development Manager at Corning, presented the results along with recommendations for what leaders can do as they start to address the gender balance in their organisations.
