Malaysia fixed services revenue to reach $2.1b by 2030

Fibre broadband demand underpins 4% CAGR.

Malaysia’s fixed communication services revenue is expected to rise at a 4% compound annual growth rate from $1.7b in 2025 to $2.1b in 2030, driven by growing demand for fixed broadband services, particularly fibre-optic services, according to GlobalData.

Fixed broadband service revenue is forecast to increase at a 4.3% compound annual growth rate over 2025 to 2030, supported by growing adoption of higher-ARPU fibre-optic fibre-to-the-home and fibre-to-the-building services.

Fixed voice service revenue, by contrast, is expected to remain stagnant, with a 0.7% compound annual growth rate as consumers shift from traditional telephony to mobile and over-the-top communication services.

GlobalData said fibre lines accounted for more than 97% of total fixed broadband lines in 2025 and will remain the leading broadband technology through 2030.

It attributed the growth in fibre lines to rising demand for high-speed broadband connectivity and efforts by the government and telecom operators to upgrade and expand fibre broadband infrastructure in the country.

The Malaysian government’s Jalinan Digital Negara, or JENDELA, plan, which targets fibre-optic coverage expansion, will help drive further adoption of fibre broadband services and support digital connectivity and economic development, the firm said.

It added that Telekom Malaysia will lead both the fixed voice and fixed broadband segments by subscriber share through 2030, supported by its strong presence in the FTTH/B segment and continued focus on fibre network expansion.
