Philippines Telecom Industry Market Report forecasts 186m mobile and fixed broadband subscribers by 2031

Sydney, 18 April 2024 – Idem Est Research, a leading provider of TMT market intelligence and advisory, today announces its in-depth analysis of the dynamic and burgeoning telecommunications market in the Philippines. The latest market report on the Philippines telecommunications sector from Idem Est Research, covering the period from 2024 to 2031, reveals significant growth and transformative changes across the mobile, broadband, and satellite internet markets.

Mobile Market Sees Dynamic Competition and Growth
The mobile telecommunications landscape in the Philippines is experiencing rapid expansion and competitive diversification, with the entry of DITO Telecommunity challenging the long-standing duopoly of PLDT and Globe. The report forecasts a robust annual growth rate of 4.2% in mobile subscribers through 2031, underpinned by widespread adoption of 4G technologies and the rollout of 5G networks. Smartphone penetration, already at 80% in 2024, is expected to increase, driving mobile revenue growth to PHP 258 million by 2031.

Broadband Market Expands with Government and Private Sector Investments
The broadband sector is marked by a promising increase in subscriber numbers, anticipated to rise to 14 million by 2031. This growth is driven by private initiatives from PLDT, Globe and Converge ICT aimed at boosting internet accessibility and significant private investments in fibre optic infrastructure. The expansion of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services, growing at an annual rate of 7.1%, is set to dramatically increase broadband coverage, bridging the digital divide, especially in rural areas.

Satellite Internet Connectivity to Enhance National Coverage
The satellite broadband market is poised for substantial growth, with subscriber numbers expected to increase from 86,000 with Starlink taking the lion’s share of that market. “Idem Est Research forecasts that satellite Internet subscribers will reach 1.6 million by 2031 while the fixed broadband market continues to grow. “The telecommunications industry is expected to maintain revenue growth momentum, with an average growth rate of 2.6% from 2024 to 2031”, says Landry Fevre, Idem Est Research & Advisory’s Director
