Fiber to The Home Market By Product Type (100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, 50 to 100 Mbps) By Application (TV, VoIP) and Region - Global Forecast 2026

The global Fiber to The Home market is estimated to value at over US$ 12 Bn in 2019, and is expected to register a CAGR of 15.1%. The global Fiber to The Home market report has been segmented on the basis of product type, application, and region.

Global Fiber to The Home Market: Definition

Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called "fiber to the premises" (FTTP), is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings, and businesses to offer unprecedented high-speed Internet access. In FTTH networks, fibers are directly connected to individual homes or multitenant buildings. Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is an integrated communication technology that functions on fiber optic technology to enable faster, effective communication, and high-speed Internet connectivity. The technology connects homes, apartments, buildings, and businesses to the operator via optic fiber wires. It allows consumers to listen to audio from a variety of sources, listen and view HD audio-visual formats, and generally gain access to increased volumes of digital data at relatively high speeds.

Global Fiber to The Home Market: Market Dynamics

FTTH broadband connections allow customers to bundle their communications services, which include telephony (including intercom), cable TV, On-demand IPTV, CCTV, video door phone, safety and security services, smart home applications, and other kinds of digital data stream can all be operated from home through a simple FTTH connection. In addition, increasing demand for technologically advanced products such as smart grid and smart home solutions, fire alarm and access control systems, safety and security services, and smart automation, owing to increasing disposable income is expected to boost growth of the global Fiber to The Home market over the forecast period.
