The revenue for Taiwan’s fixed communication services market is predicted to increase from USD 3.3 billion in 2025 to USD 3.4 billion in 2030, showing a slow compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.4%. This sluggish expansion is primarily due to a continuous decrease in fixed voice access lines and average revenue per user (ARPU) levels.
Taiwan’s Fixed Communication Forecast for the third quarter of 2025, provided by GlobalData, predicts that total voice subscriptions in the country will decrease at a CAGR of 0.8% from 2025 to 2030. This decrease is attributed to users increasingly opting for mobile and application-based communication services over traditional voice lines.
The overall ARPU for fixed voice services is also expected to decline during this period. The ARPU for residential fixed voice is forecasted to drop from USD 2.68 in 2025 to USD 2.38 in 2030. While the number of fixed broadband accounts is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period, the ARPU for fixed broadband is expected to decrease. The ARPU for residential fixed broadband is forecasted to decline from USD 25.67 in 2025 to USD 24.69 in 2030, and for the business segment, it is expected to drop from USD 33.64 to USD 30.38.
According to Pradeepthi Kantipudi, a Telecom Analyst at GlobalData, fiber is set to remain the dominant broadband technology when it comes to subscription share throughout the forecast period. By the end of 2030, fiber-based subscriptions are expected to constitute 63% of total fixed broadband accounts in Taiwan. This projected growth is driven by the increasing demand for high-speed broadband connectivity. Additionally, initiatives by the government and telecom operators to expand and upgrade the country’s fiber broadband infrastructure are also contributing factors.
Chunghwa Telecom is projected to lead the fixed broadband services market in terms of subscription share in 2025 and maintain this lead through 2030. This prediction is based on the company’s strong position in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) segment and its continued efforts to upgrade the gigabit broadband network nationwide.
