The forecast data for the number of fixed telephone subscribers in China from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decline. Starting at 17.68 million units in 2024, there’s a gradual decrease to 17.18 million units by 2028. This suggests a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period, indicating a shrinking market for fixed telephone lines. Factors such as the proliferation of mobile technology and the shift towards digital communication platforms could be contributing to this downward trend.
Looking ahead, it’s important to monitor the accelerating shift towards mobile and internet-based communication solutions. The increasing penetration of high-speed internet and the expansion of 5G networks are likely to further erode the demand for traditional fixed telephone services. Additionally, advancements in technology and changes in consumer behavior towards more flexible and cost-effective communication solutions will play a critical role in shaping the future of this market.
