The forecasted data for the number of fixed telephone subscriptions in Germany from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline. Starting from 37.128 million in 2024, the number decreases steadily each year, reaching 34.32 million by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline, which is indicative of a broader trend away from fixed telephone subscriptions in favor of alternative communication technologies. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period further underscores the downward trajectory, emphasizing a shrinking market for traditional telephony services in Germany.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include the continued expansion of mobile and internet-based communication platforms, which offer more flexibility and features compared to fixed lines. The integration of advanced technologies such as VoIP and 5G could further accelerate this shift, potentially leading to greater declines in fixed telephone subscriptions as consumers and businesses opt for more modern, efficient communication solutions.
