Spain’s Internet services industry ranks among the leaders in the European market, and ranked 3rd in the 2022 Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) for Connectivity. This high ranking is earned by Spain's advanced broadband infrastructure and its tight focus on 5G development and rollout, which supports a booming digital economy. Connectivity is Spain’s main strength as the country’s adoption of fixed broadband has reached 83%, surpassing the EU average of 78%. The country has made substantial strides in the uptake of broadband speeds of at least 100 Mbps, with 72% of broadband users benefiting from such speeds. This figure is almost double the EU average of 41%. This growth is largely attributed to Spain’s competitive broadband market, where a range of service providers offer attractive pricing options. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated demand for broadband and pay-TV services, as remote work and entertainment needs increased. Spain’s investment in telecommunications infrastructure has played a vital role in maintaining its competitive edge. The country’s Fixed Very High Capacity Networks (VHCN) achieved 94% coverage in 2021, significantly ahead of the EU average of 60%. The same can be said of Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) coverage, which stands at 89%, way beyond the EU average of 34%. In the mobile broadband sector, Spain has achieved a 94% adoption rate among individuals, well above the EU average of 87%. However, despite this high adoption, Spain lags slightly in 5G network coverage. In 2021, 5G coverage reached only 59%, 7% under the EU average of 66%. While Spain’s Internet services industry has made great progress in deploying 5G technology, it still has room for growth compared to other leading nations. The rollout of 5G infrastructure is expected to pick up pace, with the Spanish government prioritising it as part of its broader digital transformation agenda.
