The number of telephone lines per hundred persons in China shows a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 17.8 in 2024 and decreasing to 17.54 by 2028. In 2023, this figure stood higher, highlighting a continuing reduction in the penetration of traditional telephone lines. The year-on-year percentage changes indicate a gradual and steady decline, emphasizing the shift in communication preferences. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period suggests a small average annual decrease in telephone line saturation.
Future trends to watch for include the increasing shift towards mobile and internet-based communication solutions, influenced by technological advancements and the rising adoption of smartphones, which may further intensify the decline in traditional telephone line usage. Monitoring regulatory changes and telecommunication technological innovations will be crucial to understanding future dynamics in this sector.
