FFB Episode 281 - Broadband Access and Home Networking Forecast

from Fiber for Breakfast with Gary Bolton Hosted by Fiber for Breakfast with Gary Bolton

In this episode, we explore the latest Dell’Oro Group Broadband Access and Home Networking forecast and what it signals for cable, fiber, and fixed wireless providers worldwide. After three consecutive years of revenue declines, the market is projected to grow at just a 0.3% CAGR through 2030, with another dip expected in 2025 before a potential rebound in 2026 driven by DOCSIS 4.0 and XGS-PON rollouts. Jeff Heynen, Vice President of Broadband Access and Home Networking Research at Dell’Oro Group, joins Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to break down what this means for network operators — from timing infrastructure investments and managing capital amid macro uncertainty to balancing fiber expansion with cable upgrades and planning for moderating bandwidth growth. The message is clear: disciplined deployment decisions over the next three years will shape long-term competitiveness and ROI. With Special Guest: Jeff Heynen, VP of Broadband Access and Home Networking Research, Dell'Oro Group
