PH fixed communication revenue to hit $4.3b by 2030

GlobalData said growth will be driven mainly by the fixed broadband segment.

The Philippines’ fixed communication services revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%, from $3.8b in 2025 to $4.3b in 2030, according to GlobalData.

Growth will be mainly driven by the fixed broadband segment, supported by rising broadband subscriptions and fibre network expansion.

Fixed broadband service revenue is projected to increase at a 4.2% CAGR from 2025 to 2030, driven by growth in fibre optic FTTH/B broadband subscriptions.

Fibre lines accounted for 85% of total fixed broadband lines in 2025. This share is expected to rise to about 91% by 2030, supported by government and operator investments in fibre network infrastructure and FTTH service expansion.

By contrast, fixed voice services revenue is forecast to decline at a 7.4% CAGR over the same period, as users shift to mobile and OTT-based communication services and operators bundle free voice minutes with service plans.

PLDT is expected to lead the fixed voice services segment by subscriptions through 2030. It is also projected to lead the fixed broadband market, supported by its position in DSL and FTTH services.

GlobalData said PLDT has earmarked around PHP50b, or $0.81b, in capital expenditure for 2026 to expand its FTTH network and increase international bandwidth capacity.

GlobalData said the fixed communication services market will be supported by technological advancements, regulatory support, and rising demand for high-speed and reliable internet.
