Between 2013 and 2023, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions in Finland showed a fluctuating trend with annual variations. Overall, subscriptions peaked in 2014 and then generally declined, reaching 128.58 units per hundred persons in 2023. The average annual decrease over the past five years was approximately -0.16%, highlighting a consistent but moderate decline in subscriptions. Notably, the subscriptions experienced sharper drops between 2014 and 2017, followed by a steadier decrease.
Looking forward from 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a marginal decline in mobile cellular subscriptions, with a projected average annual rate of -0.05%. This suggests that the market will continue to mature and possibly saturate, with only minimal changes expected annually.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Emergence of new technologies such as 5G and their potential impact on subscription growth.
- Shift towards alternative communication platforms, potentially reducing the need for multiple cellular subscriptions.
- Changes in regulatory or market conditions that could influence subscription rates.
