The number of fixed telephone subscriptions in France is projected to see a decline from 37.525 million in 2024 to 37.104 million in 2028. Looking at the year-on-year percentage change, this represents a slight but consistent decrease. The trend observed from 2024 onwards indicates a declining interest in fixed-line telephone services, as consumers are likely shifting towards mobile and internet-based communication solutions.
Future trends to watch for include the adoption of next-generation communication technologies, such as 5G or broadband-driven solutions, which could further reduce the reliance on fixed telephone lines. Also, demographic shifts and changes in consumer preferences towards more flexible and cost-effective communication solutions are likely to impact the number of fixed subscriptions negatively.
