Key Highlights

By the end of 2022, an estimated 6.4 million subscribers used pay-TV services in Spain, a decline of 31,000 from 2021.
4G subscriptions dominated the market with a 76.3% share of the total mobile subscriptions in 2022. However, 4G subscription share will fall drastically to 49.0% in 2027, due to subscribers migrating to 5G services.
Fiber lines were the most adopted broadband technology in the Spanish market in 2022, accounting for 83.8% of total broadband lines. Over the forecast period, fiber will remain the most popular fixed broadband technology, thanks to efforts by the government and operators in upgrading and expanding FTTX coverage to new areas.

Scope

• IPTV will remain the leading platform to deliver pay-TV services throughout the forecast period with its subscription increasing from 5.1 million in 2022 to 5.4 million in 2027. This growth is primarily supported by expansion and improvements in fixed broadband infrastructure which supports the delivery of high-quality IPTV services, and rising adoption of multiplay plans that incorporate IPTV.
• Spain had an estimated 13.6 million subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) accounts at the end of 2022, an increase of 1.5 million or 12.4% from 2021.

Over the next five years, total mobile subscriptions will grow at a CAGR of 2.4% with mobile network operators (MNOs) adding a combined 8.8 million subscriptions and bringing the country’s total mobile subscriptions to 78.4 million in 2027.
• Total fixed broadband lines in Spain will increase from 17.2 million in 2022 to 20.1 million by the end of 2027, supported by growth in fiber access lines and fixed wireless on the back of the initiatives by the government and operators to expand fixed broadband infrastructure.
