Fixed broadband and specialist business service revenue will be crucial for revenue growth in the fixed segment.

Both revenue streams will increase at a similar CAGR of 2.6% between 2018 and 2024. Fixed network operators will be looking for opportunities to reduce infrastructure costs, and fibre network roll-outs will continue across the region.

  • Mobile: penetration in CEE will plateau, mainly due to market saturation
  • Mobile: mobile ARPU will increase in CEE, stimulated by LTE expansions and the associated increase in data usage
  • Mobile: the outlook for mobile ARPU and handset revenue is positive thanks to increasing LTE-A coverage and the growing adoption of contract subscriptions
  • Fixed: over 60% of households in CEE will have an active NGA broadband connection in 2024
  • Fixed: NGA network roll-outs and attractive bundled offers will support broadband household penetration growth across the region
  • Fixed: increasing broadband household penetration and NGA service takeup will help operators to maintain reasonably stable ASPU levels

  • Poland: operators' investments in NGA networks will slow down towards the end of the forecast period
  • Poland: investments in infrastructure will allow operators to maintain ASPUlevels despite the high competitive pressure
  • Poland: forecast changes
  • Russia: strong revenue growth from mobile connectivity and fixed broadband will help to offset declining revenue from legacy services
  • Russia: the NGA share of all broadband connections will reach 95% by 2024
  • Russia: mobile and broadband revenue will grow modestly due to enhancements in service quality and favourable macroeconomic conditions
  • Russia: forecast changes
  • Turkey: mobile data usage will be the major driver of revenue growth, followed by broadband services
  • Turkey: the high mobile ASPU will be maintained due to growth in the take up of mobile data services
