'Romania Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report,' a new Country Intelligence Report provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in Romania today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2028. Published annually, the report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics, and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile and pay-TV segments as well as a review of key regulatory trends.

The total telecom and pay-TV service revenue in Romania will grow at a CAGR of 1.5% over the forecast period of 2023-2028, primarily driven by revenue growth in fixed broadband and mobile data segments. Mobile data service revenue will grow at a five-year CAGR of 7.9%. This growth will be driven by the expansion of mobile subscriber base, growing 4G subscriptions, the projected growth in adoption of higher ARPU-yielding 5G services as mobile network coverage improves, and telcos promoting segmented and premium mobile data packages to support data-hungry use cases such as video streaming and mobile gaming. Fixed broadband service revenue will increase from an estimated $570.2 million in 2023 to $630.9 million in 2028, supported by ongoing efforts from the regulator in expanding broadband connectivity to reduce the digital divide as well as operators driving uptake of fixed broadband services by bundling with other services while taking advantage of cross-selling opportunities.
