Germany Telecom Country Intelligence Report

Summary

"Germany Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report", a new Country Intelligence Report by the publisher, provides an executive-level overview of the telecommunications market in Germany today, with detailed forecasts of key indicators up to 2024. 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.

Total telecom and pay-TV services revenue in Germany will decline in 2020, as operators are mitigating headwinds of the pandemic. However, we expect the overall telecom revenue to increase after 2020, supported by increasing service revenue from mobile data, fixed voice, fixed broadband and pay-TV segments. Over the next five years, mobile data service revenue will grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.7% over 2019-2024, driven by growing adoption of mobile Internet-based subscriptions and increasing aggregate ARPUs will positively influence mobile data services revenue over the forecast period. Fixed broadband revenue will be led by steady growth in DSL and and FTTX segment, while pay-TV revenue growth will be supported by increase in DTH subscriptions with higher ARPU and growing adoption of IPTV services.
