Indonesian fixed telecom market to reach $1.4b by 2030 as landlines disconnect
Subscribers are shifting from traditional landlines to app-based communications.
Indonesia's fixed communications services market will grow to $1.4b in 2030 from $1.3b in 2025, expanding at an annual rate of 4.3%, driven by demand for fibre broadband services, according to GlobalData.
The firm's Indonesia Fixed Services Forecast for the first quarter of 2026 said fixed broadband service revenue will rise at a 4.6% compound annual growth rate as demand for high-speed internet connectivity and fibre-to-the-home/business (FTTH/B) connections increases.
Fixed voice service revenue will decline as subscribers shift from traditional landline services to over-the-top and app-based communications, resulting in lower subscription numbers and average revenue per user.
"Fibre will remain the leading broadband technology over the forecast period due to ongoing fibre-optic network expansion initiatives by service providers across the country," said Neha Mishra, Telecom Analyst at GlobalData.
Mishra cited plans by NTT East, announced in September 2025, to expand its fibre-optic network in Indonesia through investments in local telecom company Weave, targeting more than 10 million household connections within a decade.
GlobalData said Telkom Indonesia is expected to retain its leadership in the fixed broadband market through 2030, supported by its FTTH network, IndiHome subscriber base, and bundled fixed-mobile offerings through Telkomsel.
"Indonesia's fixed communications market will continue to evolve around fibre broadband expansion and improved connectivity in underserved areas," Mishra said.
