2024 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

Across Europe, we are seeing consistent growth of FTTH deployment.

According to the latest Market Panorama report, the total number of homes passed with FTTH/B in the EU39¹ area reached 244 million homes in September 2023, compared to 221 million in September 2022.

FTTH/B coverage rate in EU39 countries now amounts to 69.9% (up by 6.5pp vs 2022).

However, the proportion of homes effectively connected is much lower, with the FTTH penetration rate reaching 34.7% in EU39. Take up rate is progressing - slowly - at 49.6% (+ 0.5pp y-o-y) and adoption is now  the key challenge in many markets².

While the general trend is positive, we are observing significant differences between markets. In our view, a presentation of our data by country would be useful, offering a clearer focus on the highly diverse dynamics and trends for each individual country.

This document is our first publication using this new approach and format. We hope you find it useful and welcome your comments and suggestions – don’t hesitate to get in touch!

It complements our standard market reports³ which you can find on our website, alongside many other assets covering every aspect of the FTTH industry.
