Greece Seen Growing FTTP Subscriptions 20.8% a Year to 2.7 Million by 2030

Summary

  • Point Topic projects Greece will rank second among 31 European fiber markets for active FTTP subscription growth through 2030, reaching 2.6 million to 2.7 million connections if the forecast holds.
  • The 20.8% annual growth rate reflects a low starting base and a shift from simply expanding coverage to converting homes and businesses from older broadband technologies to active fiber service.
  • OTE’s latest data suggests that conversion is accelerating: the operator added a record 62,000 FTTH customers in Q2, lifting subscribers to 686,831, up 46% year on year.
  • Competition is widening that push, with Nova topping 300,000 FTTH subscribers in the first half, while Vodafone, Inalan and PPC’s FiberGrid continue expanding networks.
  • Across Europe, FTTP subscriptions are forecast to rise from 112.4 million in 2025 to 157.4 million by 2030, making customer take-up—not just network buildout—the next battleground.
