Key Highlights

IPTV subscriptions will grow at a robust CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period, from 1.0 million in 2022 to 1.6 million in 2027, supported by wider availability of fiber infrastructure and growing demand for multiplay service bundles.

4G accounted for 73.2% of total mobile subscriptions in 2022 and will remain the main mobile technology over the forecast period. However, 4G market share will decline to 55.6% in 2027, as 5G service adoption increases.

Fiber was the leading residential broadband technology in 2022, with a 63.1% share of the total fixed broadband connections in the country. GlobalData expects fiber-optic fixed broadband service subscription share to increase to 80.2% in 2027, as the government and operators continue to invest in FTTX infrastructure.
