The urban household fixed telephone subscribers in China stood at 5.78 ten million units in 2023. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline, reaching 4.46 ten million units by the end of 2028. The year-on-year percentage changes reveal a consistent decrease at an average annual rate of approximately 5.12% over these five years (CAGR).
Future trends to watch for include the continued displacement of fixed telephone services by mobile and internet-based communication, as consumer preference shifts towards more flexible and advanced technologies. This will likely further accelerate the decline in fixed telephone subscriptions.
