FTTH

Market Panorama
Report by country
September 2023
Introduction
Welcome to the first edition of FTTH Council Europe Market Panorama Country Report

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
EU39* 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 markets.***

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 reports which you can find on our website, alongside many other assets
covering every aspect of the FTTH industry.****

With kind regards,

purposes only and not intended as fully accurate, up to date representations of the countries discussed.

GDP:

The GDP per capita was derived from the World Economic Outlook database from IMF (International
Monetary Fund). Gross Domestic Product, current prices (U.S. dollars per capita to Euros) 2023.

Y-O-Y total household correction:

To realistically represent the number of households in each graph in this publication, a fixed average percentage (-
1.067%) has been subtracted from the number of total households each year backwards from 2022.

Note on fiber KPI sources:

The fiber-related KPI (population, households, homes passed, subscribers) are taken from the FTTH Market
Panorama, published in cooperation with Idate. This document is based on data and information collected by
the European Commission (through DESI studies) and information gathered from local regulators in each
country (if available). Also the operators published data are taken into account, and they are used, if they do
not contradict the institutional data.
