Wired Telecommunications Carriers in the UK - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

Stronger signals: A focus on faster internet speeds keeps industry revenue flowing

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Over the five years through 2022-23, wired telecommunications carriers' revenue is set to contract at a compound annual rate of 3.5% to £16.5 billion. Declining revenue has come from consumer preferences shifting to wireless telecommunications as they've improved in quality. Nevertheless, demand for fast and reliable connections and the expansion of full-fibre network services have somewhat supported demand.

Industry participants operate, maintain and provide access to facilities that transmit data, text, sound and video using a wired telecommunications infrastructure. The industry also includes firms that purchase wholesale access and network capacity from infrastructure owners to subsequently provide retail telecommunications services to end users.
