Fibre will drive EMAP’s fixed market growth, while 5G FWA and satellite broadband will have limited impact

Fixed operators in emerging Asia–Pacific (EMAP) are intensively investing in fibre infrastructure, migrating customers from DSL/cable to fibre and offering affordable services to satisfy the high demand for gigabit-capable connections. In countries where fixed broadband penetration is high, operators maintain revenue growth by upselling premium fibre services bundled with additional services.

The take-up of fixed-wireless access (FWA) services on 5G and satellite broadband will grow rapidly in a few EMAP countries, but this will have a limited impact on the regional market.
