Wired telecommunications carriers in Europe have contended with intensifying competition as wireless technology (including mobile phones, 5G home broadband and over-the-top TV) has encroached on key markets. The expanding popularity and coverage of wireless telecommunication services have put pressure on prices for traditional wired services, constraining average revenue per user (ARPU) and weakening subscription numbers. Revenue is forecast to sink at a compound annual rate of 2.5% over the five years through 2025 to €231.6 billion, including a 1.8% dip in revenue in 2025. Building fibre optic infrastructure across the continent has secured fixed networks as the fastest and most reliable internet connection. The quicker speeds the technology offers have allowed ISPs to push up prices. However, slow rollout in key markets like Germany and the UK means that some telecom companies have yet to benefit fully. In the past few years, inflationary pressures have suppressed ARPU as consumers and businesses sought to save money. Constrained disposable incomes have caused many consumers to shop around for the best and cheapest deal, fostering enhanced price competition between providers. Outside competition has also accelerated, with online streaming platforms disrupting the traditional pay TV business model that cable TV providers rely on. Wired telecommunications carriers will continue to battle for market share with competing industries, especially wireless telecommunications carriers. The launch of more satellite internet providers and the promised future release of 6G are major threats to the industry. Wired carriers have lost a sizeable portion of subscribers and although this rate is projected to ease, more customers are likely to ditch their landlines and cable TV subscriptions. Nonetheless, the growing demand for faster Wi-Fi speeds and the rollout of fibre optic technologies will support revenue, limiting the overall dip. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is anticipated to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.1% to €257.5 billion.

Over the five years through 2025-26, wired telecommunications carriers' revenue is set to contract at a compound annual rate of 3.5% to £14.4 billion. The slump in revenue has been driven by a drop in landline use, cable TV subscriptions, intensifying competition among providers, stimulating price reductions and the shift towards wireless connections as they improve in speed. As consumers shifted to more readily available wireless options, revenue from traditional wired services took a hit. Alongside this, the Local Loop Unbundling has made it easier for new entrants to the market, intensifying competition for established carriers. Nevertheless, demand for fast, reliable connections and expanding full-fibre network services has kept demand fairly strong. Mobile and digital technologies are becoming more popular at the expense of wired telecommunications services, like landline telephony. Providers have attempted to mitigate lower demand for wired telecoms by bundling traditional telecommunication offerings with more popular services — for example, they’ll offer phone services in combination with their internet packages. However, this has come at the expense of average revenue per user (ARPU) and so profitability. Lower line rental charges have been further depleted thanks to Ofcom regulations to boost transparency in pricing mechanisms. Despite significant price hikes being made by most providers, revenue dipped over the two years through 2023-24, as users traded down to cheaper deals and cut out some bundled services from their contracts. In 2025-26, high competition and lower ARPU will constrain revenue, which is projected to contract 0.3%. . Wired telecoms providers are shifting towards a broadband-first fixed network business model. The value of wired telecommunications will likely continue declining while alternative options, like wireless VoIP and cloud computing, flourish. Still, revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.8% over the five years through 2030-31 to £16.5 billion. Wired broadband will remain vital for all households, with annual price rises set to sustain revenue growth. The ongoing roll-out of 5G networks presents a major threat to wired telecom providers, as downstream clients look set to increasingly adopt advanced wireless telecommunications. Regulatory pressures from Ofcom will likely further reduce line rental prices for UK consumers and exacerbate pressures on ARPU.
