In Latin America, fixed broadband revenue will increase from $23.8bn in 2019 to $28.7bn in 2024, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%, according to GlobalData.

In this sense, FTTH/B will account for 31% of total fixed broadband lines in 2024, up from an estimated 21% in 2019.
By the end of 2019, Brazil will be the largest fixed broadband market in Latin America both in terms of broadband lines (31.8 million) and revenue ($9.1bn), followed by Mexico with 20.6 million broadband lines and $5.5bn in revenue.
