The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent.

2024 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

Jun 13, 2024

Reports & Studies | Market Intelligence Committee |

Back to library

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.

_{EU39 = (EU27+UK )+ 2 CIS countries + Kazakhstan, Iceland, Israel, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine.}

_{Note: in 2022, the FTTH Council have removed Russia and Belarus from individual mention in the report due to their actions and support of the invasion of Ukraine.}
