The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe. The survey is commissioned through an external partner and the role of the Committee is to complete and refine these data based on the comprehensive input coming from the network of experts from our 150 members active in all European countries.

FTTH members have access to a more detailed version of the report with granular information regarding the individual FTTH markets in each of the 39 countries surveyed.

Two more reports have been produced under initiative of the Market Intelligence Committee, and launched during the last FTTH Virtual Conference 2021: the latest figures of the FTTH Forecasts for 2021 and 2026 and an overview of fibre deployments in rural areas.

The Market Intelligence Committee is also involved in other studies such as Copper Switch Off, Best Practices in Fibre advertising and the Socio Economic Impact of FTTH.

Market Intelligence Committee Publishes Key Updates and Launches New Observatory Report

The Market Intelligence Committee has published the latest update of its core assets ahead of the FTTH Conference 2026, with a final refinement scheduled for release in early May. This last update includes minor adjustments for one country based on recent feedback. The combination of strong download figures and limited revisions highlights the high quality and robustness of both the report and its underlying data.

In parallel, the Committee will release the Per Country Report and introduce a new “Observatory” report—a concise document consolidating key figures and highlights from across existing outputs. This new format is designed to provide stakeholders with a quick and accessible overview of the most relevant insights.

Engagement with MIC outputs remains strong. A pre-Conference webinar attracted around 400 participants, while the MIC workshop at the FTTH Conference 2026 welcomed 290 attendees, confirming sustained interest in the Committee’s work.

These developments reinforce the Committee’s role in delivering reliable, accessible market intelligence to support informed decision-making across the fibre sector.
