This report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of FTTx conversion rates worldwide from 2023 to 2029, measuring the percentage of premises with active fiber connections relative to those passed. It examines both mature markets with established fiber infrastructure and emerging markets that are still in the early phases of fixed network modernization.
Key Metrics Covered in This Report
The report focuses on several key metrics. It includes conversion rates, which indicate the proportion of premises passed that have an active fiber connection. It also provides forecasts for total fiber connection numbers across various regions. Additionally, the report examines the connection rate of premises passed, analysing adoption trends in areas where fiber networks are available.
A major focus is the segmentation of conversion rates by different network architectures and technologies. These include FTTx/xDSL, FTTB/LAN, FTTP (further broken down by incumbent and alternative operators), and Cable DOCSIS.
