Fixed Broadband and FWA Markets, Q1 2025: developments and outlook
This report is available to those subscribed to the Fixed, TV and Convergence module.
Fixed markets continue to evolve around the world, with technology investments, competition, M&A and shifting consumer behaviour being major drivers. This quarterly series outlines the latest market developments and the key trends to watch, charting the period to 2030. The report also provides comprehensive cross-country comparisons at your fingertips, allowing you to identify which markets or technologies will grow the most. Our datasets, available in a detailed Excel file, provide granular operator-level data, in a similar format to our existing mobile market coverage, with quarterly data available from Q1 2010. Our fixed telecoms data extends to 36 of the largest markets globally (equating to more than 90% of global fixed broadband connections) across a wide range of reported metrics, including connections, technology splits, bundling and financials.
We provide market-level outlooks, via forecasts until 2030, of key technologies and historical modelled connections estimates at an operator level for each market. A key input to this is our fixed product tracker, also available in Excel, which records the launch of fixed technologies and bundled product offerings at an operator level, for each of the markets we cover.

AI opens a new front in the fight against unwanted calls to fixed lines
Although the number of unwanted calls to fixed lines has been decreasing due to efforts from stakeholders (including operators, network and customer-premises equipment vendors and regulators), the emergence of AI, especially generative AI, could reverse this trend while also making consumers more vulnerable to scams. However, AI can also be used to tackle the scourge of unwanted calls.
