The forecast data for fixed broadband subscriptions per hundred persons in Austria shows a steady, albeit slow, growth from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 29.12 subscriptions in 2024 and marginally increasing to 29.29 by 2028, the year-on-year growth rates are extremely modest, reflecting a saturated market with limited fluctuations. This trend suggests a mature market with high penetration rates where significant growth spurts are unlikely without substantial market shifts or technological advancements.
Looking ahead, factors such as the rollout of ultra-fast broadband services, government policies aimed at increasing digital inclusion, and the potential impact of new technologies (e.g., 5G) on fixed broadband usage should be closely monitored. These elements could disrupt the current steady trend, either by accelerating growth through increased demand or by presenting challenges through substitution effects with mobile broadband.
