  • Taiwan’s Fixed Communication Market Set for Steady Growth Amid Rising Fiber Broadband Demand

    Taiwan’s Fixed Communication Market Set for Steady Growth Amid Rising Fiber Broadband Demand

    The revenue for Taiwan’s fixed communication services market is predicted to increase from USD 3.3 billion in 2025 to USD 3.4 billion in 2030, showing a slow compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.4%. This sluggish expansion is primarily due to a continuous decrease in fixed voice access lines and average revenue per user (ARPU) levels.

    Shifting Communication Preferences

    Taiwan’s Fixed Communication Forecast for the third quarter of 2025, provided by GlobalData, predicts that total voice subscriptions in the country will decrease at a CAGR of 0.8% from 2025 to 2030. This decrease is attributed to users increasingly opting for mobile and application-based communication services over traditional voice lines.

    Declining ARPU in Fixed Voice Services

    The overall ARPU for fixed voice services is also expected to decline during this period. The ARPU for residential fixed voice is forecasted to drop from USD 2.68 in 2025 to USD 2.38 in 2030. While the number of fixed broadband accounts is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period, the ARPU for fixed broadband is expected to decrease. The ARPU for residential fixed broadband is forecasted to decline from USD 25.67 in 2025 to USD 24.69 in 2030, and for the business segment, it is expected to drop from USD 33.64 to USD 30.38.

    Continued Dominance of Fiber Broadband

    According to Pradeepthi Kantipudi, a Telecom Analyst at GlobalData, fiber is set to remain the dominant broadband technology when it comes to subscription share throughout the forecast period. By the end of 2030, fiber-based subscriptions are expected to constitute 63% of total fixed broadband accounts in Taiwan. This projected growth is driven by the increasing demand for high-speed broadband connectivity. Additionally, initiatives by the government and telecom operators to expand and upgrade the country’s fiber broadband infrastructure are also contributing factors.

    Chunghwa Telecom is projected to lead the fixed broadband services market in terms of subscription share in 2025 and maintain this lead through 2030. This prediction is based on the company’s strong position in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) segment and its continued efforts to upgrade the gigabit broadband network nationwide.

  • Nokia launches Fixed Access Health Index

    Nokia launches Fixed Access Health Index

    Nokia has announced it has developed a new metric for measuring the quality and performance of fixed access networks in a standardized way.

    The Nokia Fixed Access Health Index for service providers uses Nokia’s automation and analytics capabilities to benchmark the performance and health of fixed line networks against those of industry peers.

    It is designed to act as the foundation for network optimization programs, and measure their performance and progress over time through regular performance measurements.

    The index is already in use by multiple operators, including a major Asian service provider that used the tool to optimize the network health and quality of its recently introduced IPTV service.

    “The initial results we saw with our pioneering customers in this domain were so impressive that we decided to go for a ‘standardized’ approach, which can be replicated with other service providers,” Nokia president of fixed networks Federico Guillén said.

    “Based on a series of playbooks, each operator gets a personalized evaluation and improvement plan. To offer this kind of service, we build on our expertise in all 20 of the largest access networks globally, and with more than 300 fixed broadband customers worldwide, which gives us an endless source of knowledge to tap.”
