Portugal broadband market: Penetration below average for Europe

Broadband penetration in Portugal is below the EU average while mobile penetration is among the highest. The incumbent Portugal Telecom has seen its share of the total traffic market (voice and internet) gradually shrink, though it retains a dominant share in both the voice and DSL markets. Market revenue is expected to continue to fall slightly to 2013, in line with lower sector investment, as operators face regulatory burdens compounded by consumers spending less on services. Operators have reported declining revenue for several quarters, and little respite is anticipated in the near future. PT has weathered the times better than competitors on the strength of its subsidiaries in Brazil.

Portugal's competitive broadband sector is served by a large number of DSL, cable and fibre operators though four of them alone together have a 94% share of subscribers. PT and Sonaecom dominate the fast-emerging FttH market, while the three MNOs also offer mobile broadband. Cable broadband is available to about 85% of the country on average, or 50% of rural areas. Overall subscriber growth remains strong, and though DSL is the principal access technology, in coming years its market share will shrink as customers are migrated to fibre networks: indeed fibre is now accounts for three of every four new customers.

Portugal's telecom market provides one of the highest contributions to GDP in the EU. The government's high proportion of debt to GDP has continued to jeopardise publicly funded telecom infrastructure investment and placed a greater burden on the private sector to deliver fibre-based infrastructure. The newly elected government has set budget deficit targets to 2015. Spending cuts required to achieve the fiscal overhaul are expected to cause Portugal's GDP to contract by 3% in 2012, affecting growth, consumer spend and business investment.
