The demand for high-speed internet in Europe is rising due to the increase in data-intensive services, like streaming platforms. Telecommunications companies have invested heavily in fibre optic technology to upgrade their infrastructures. Fibre optic cables are essential for expanding the 5G network as they connect numerous small base stations and enable the required data transfer rates. Over the five years through 2024, the industry's revenue is expected to contract at an annual rate of 1.8% to €3.1 billion. Although Europe's fibre optic cable industry is fairly small, it is becoming increasingly important for the continent's digital transformation. In addition to internet use, these cables are used in the automotive industry, sensor technology and robotics. The industry’s revenue is expected to decrease by 0.6% in 2024. The development of fibre optic networks varies from country to country in Europe. In 2022, fibre optic penetration in Germany was around 26%, while the UK reported a penetration rate of 33% at the beginning of 2022. In contrast, Spain (89%), Portugal (87%) and Sweden (84%) had a much higher penetration rate at the end of 2021. In Sweden, telecommunication companies have rejected transitional technologies like vectoring, which has led to a faster roll-out of fibre networks. This strategic decision has avoided delays in network roll-out in Sweden that have occurred in other countries. Over the five years through 2029, the industry's revenue is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.6% to €4.3 billion. Western Europe isn’t particularly attractive for the production of fibre optic cables due to the low sales volume, high labour costs and market dominance by subsidiaries of international corporations. However, several Western European countries are actively investing in and expanding their fibre optic infrastructure. The UK and Germany have launched initiatives to achieve nationwide gigabit broadband coverage by 2030. Italy and France have drawn up ambitious plans and made substantial funds available to expand their broadband networks to ultra-fast speeds. Spain is also driving forward its fibre infrastructure with significant investment and legislative support to promote competition and digitisation.

As of 2018, 99 percent of Swedish enterprises on average had access to the internet. All of the investigated companies with 50 employees or more had access to the internet that year.
