"Declining capex is principally caused by sector-specific, not macroeconomic, factors."
Telecoms capex (including capex from non-operators) worldwide peaked in 2022 at USD386 billion; by 2024, it had fallen by 9% to USD350 billion. As such, questions remain over how long the decline will last and whether there will be a rebound.
This report provides granular capex forecasts for infrastructure, hardware and software by asset type and source for 8 global regions and 13 individual countries, plus the EU.
It provides historical data from 2019 and forecasts to 2031 for capex by:
source: operators, infracos, content and application providers (CAPs) and enterprises
network asset type: wireline access, wireless access, wireless x-haul and packet core, transport networks, operator data-centre and cloud stack spend and capitalised software
category: infrastructure and technology
new versus legacy network
growth versus maintenance.
The report also provides an explanation of the spending trends we see.
Questions answered in this report:
What do we expect the trends in telecoms capex to be between now and 2031, and what are the drivers for investment?
Will concerns about slowing traffic growth result in lower spending?
For which technologies or architecture will operator spending grow, and for which will spending decline?
How much capital spending will be made by non-traditional operators, wholesale providers and cloud or enterprise co-investors?
