Developed markets such as Europe, North America and parts of Asia- Pacific will make up the majority of fixed broadband lines but greatest growth will come from emerging markets such as central and Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, north Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.
Emerging markets will provide the greatest potential for growth over the next five years, increasing at an estimated 13.7% CAGR, compared to 3.9% CAGR in Europe, developed Asia-Pacific and North America. By 2015, emerging markets are predicted to account for 28.5% of global fixed broadband revenue, compared to 17.2% in 2009. This will cause the total revenue percentage of all fixed broadband connections in developed markets to fall from 67% to 54% over the next five years.
