India’s Broadband Services Market Poised to Reach $35.85 Billion by 2033 IMARC Report

According to IMARC Group’s latest report, “India Broadband Services Market Size, Share, Trends and Forecast by Connection, End Use, and Region, 2025-2033,” the broadband industry in India was valued at USD 16.34 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.12%, reaching USD 35.85 billion by 2033. 

Key Market Trends Driving Growth 

India’s broadband sector is undergoing rapid transformation, fueled by technological advancements and rising consumer demand. The expansion of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks is central to this growth, supporting high-bandwidth applications like 4K streaming, cloud gaming, and remote work. Additionally, 5G-powered Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is bridging connectivity gaps in semi-urban and rural regions, where traditional wired infrastructure is limited. 

Bundled broadband offerings—featuring OTT subscriptions, smart home devices, and cybersecurity tools—are gaining traction, enhancing user retention and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). 

Policy Push & Digital Inclusion 

Government-backed digital inclusion initiatives and public-private partnerships are accelerating broadband rollout in underserved areas. Simultaneously, businesses are increasingly demanding low-latency, enterprise-grade solutions such as SD-WAN and dedicated leased lines to support hybrid work environments. 

Emerging Segments & Sustainability 

The satellite broadband segment is also expanding, with global players entering the Indian market to offer coverage in remote, underserved regions. Meanwhile, operators are embracing green broadband practices by deploying energy-efficient infrastructure and incorporating renewable energy to reduce their environmental impact. 

Future Outlook 

India’s broadband market offers robust opportunities, driven by increasing internet penetration, a largely untapped rural user base, and the growing importance of vernacular content. Demand is further supported by the rise of smart cities, IoT, e-learning, and telemedicine, all of which require reliable, high-speed internet. 

While residential users currently account for the bulk of subscriptions, the enterprise segment is expected to grow faster due to trends like cloud adoption, data localization, and SaaS uptake. Regulatory support for infrastructure sharing and right-of-way approvals is also streamlining network expansion, creating a more investor-friendly ecosystem.
