Over the five years through 2025-26, the fibre-optic industry's revenue is expected to decline at a compound annual rate of 3.2%. Revenue is projected to dip modestly by 0.3% in 2025-26 to £318.7 million. This decline reflects the nearing saturation of full-fibre broadband rollouts in urban areas and the competitive pressures from international manufacturers. Despite these challenges, profit margins remain high at 8%. Government initiatives, notably Project Gigabit, continue to drive demand by funding the extension of broadband access and supporting fibre-optic sales. As of January 2025, 84% of UK premises have gigabit-capable broadband, reflecting significant progress towards the 85% target for 2025. However, the influx of imports, primarily from countries with cheaper manufacturing costs like Poland, which accounts for 56.8% of UK fibre-optic sales, underscores the competitive challenge domestic producers face to benefit from the rollout. Despite these challenges, the industry's profitability has benefitted from the imposition of anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports, which have reduced inflow and a weaker pound, which enhances the competitiveness of UK fibre-optic in domestic and international markets. Domestic manufacturers continue to innovate, focusing on quality and technological advancements to capture market share in high-demand, high-value sectors like automotive and data centres. Revenue is expected to increase at a compound annual rate of 2.2% over the five years through 2030-31 to reach £354.8 million. This growth will be driven by the robust expansion of the UK’s data centre capacity, which is expected to rise from 3.3 gigawatts in 2025 to 6.3 gigawatts by 2030. Investments in AI infrastructure and data centre development contribute significantly to this demand, with major tech firms planning multi-billion-pound investments to construct expansive data campuses. Manufacturers like Huber + Suhner are poised to benefit from these developments with innovative products that expedite installation. The industry’s focus on emerging technologies like hollow core fibre, promising substantial latency reductions, presents future growth avenues. Profit margins are expected to improve slightly, from 8% to 9.1% by 2030-31, as manufacturers leverage innovation and a strategic focus on high-growth areas to drive profitability.

Although Europe’s fibre-optic cable manufacturing industry is fairly small on a global scale, it’s becoming increasingly important for the continent's digital transformation. Demand for high-speed internet in Europe is on the rise due to the increase in data-intensive services, like streaming platforms. Telecommunications companies have invested heavily in fibre-optic technology to upgrade their infrastructures, inflating demand for fibre-optic cables. Fibre-optic cables are also essential for expanding the 5G network, as they connect numerous small base stations and enable the required data transfer rates. They’re also used in the automotive industry, sensor technology and robotics. Over the five years through 2025, fibre-optic cable manufacturing revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.4% to €4 billion, including a forecast hike of 4.1% in 2025. Consumers and businesses are increasingly valuing fast internet connection, resulting in telecommunications companies investing heavily in their fibre-optic infrastructure, ramping up profitability over the past five years. However, the development of fibre-optic networks in Europe varies between countries. According to the German Broadband Association, 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, avoiding delays in roll-out that have occurred in other countries. The automotive market also provides a healthy market for fibre-optic cable manufactures, a sector that has been experiencing a slow recovery from its pandemic-driven tumble amid severe supply chain disruptions. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is slated to swell at a compound annual rate of 5.4% to €5.2 billion. Western Europe isn’t particularly attractive for the production of fibre-optic cables due to 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, which should promote future sales. The European Commission has announced investments of around €850 million for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital second Work Programme in the four years through 2027. The UK and Germany have also launched initiatives to achieve nationwide gigabit broadband coverage by 2030. Spain is driving forward its fibre infrastructure with significant investment and legislative support to promote competition and digitisation.

TwitterThis data represents the Virginia State Broadband Data area of broadband availability. Area of broadband availability refers to those individual US Census Blocks where each facilities-based provider of broadband service claims to provide broadband services. For each area the provider name and technology they provide there are represented. In addition, advertised and typical upload and download speeds are often reported at these levels. If a provider offers availability to any location within a census block, the entire block is deemed available under this effort. For this purpose, ''broadband service'' is the provision, on either a commercial or non-commercial basis, of data transmission technology that provides two-way data transmission to and from the Internet with advertised speeds of at least 4 megabits per second (mbps) downstream and 0.5 mbps upstream to end users. For this purpose, an ''end user'' of broadband service is a residential or business party, institution or State or local government entity that may use broadband service for its own purposes. An entity is a ''facilities based'' provider of broadband service connections to end user locations if any of the following conditions are met: (1) It owns the portion of the physical facility that terminates at the end user location; (2) it obtains unbundled network elements (UNEs), special access lines, or other leased facilities that terminate at the end user location and provisions/equips them as broadband; or (3) it provisions/equips a broadband wireless channel to the end user location over licensed or unlicensed spectrum.
