The telecom and pay-TV service revenue in Ukraine was valued at $2.3 billion in 2021 and is forecasted to register a growth of more than 2% during the period of 2022-2026. The growth during the forecast period is driven by growth in the mobile data, fixed broadband, and pay-TV segments. Mobile data is the largest contributor to total service revenue in 2021, followed by mobile voice, fixed broadband, pay-TV, mobile messaging, and fixed voice.
Ongoing investment by MNOs Vodafone Ukraine, Kyivstar and Lifecell on the expansion of 4G/LTE network coverage provides opportunities for network vendors, and potential for ARPU uplift for the operators. The Ministry of Digital Transformation’s initiative to extend high-speed broadband Internet with minimum speeds of 100 Mbps to the country’s rural communities over the coming years will bring new opportunities for ISPs.

What are the market dynamics in the telecom operators market in Ukraine?

What are the sector classifications in Ukraine’s Telecom Operators market?
Mobile services market: Mobile subscription penetration of the population in Ukraine will reach more than 120% in 2021. Despite a decline in mobile subscriptions, mobile subscription penetration of the population will increase slightly by the end of 2026, as the population decline will outpace the decline in subscriptions. 3G will be the leading mobile technology in 2021 accounting for more than 50% of total mobile subscriptions. However, 4G subscriptions will surpass 3G in 2023. This growth will be supported by a continued 4G/LTE network expansion by operators like Kyvistar, Lifecell, and Vodafone Ukraine.
Fixed services market: Fixed broadband penetration of the population will increase from 2021 to 2026 driven by the collective efforts from the Ukrainian government and operators like Ukrtelecom to expand broadband coverage across the country. For example, Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation announced a four-year plan in July 2020 to expand high-speed broadband Internet coverage to the country’s rural areas at a minimum speed of 100 Mbps. Fixed voice service revenue will decline drastically from 2021 to 2026 owing to a significant loss of circuit-switched subscriptions and a decline in voice ARPU over the forecast period. Fixed broadband service revenue, on the other hand, will increase from 2021 to 2026. This growth will be driven by the adoption of fixed broadband services.
Pay-TV: The growth of Pay-TV household penetration in Ukraine will be supported by the growing adoption of DTH and IPTV services. Cable TV is the leading pay TV technology in Ukraine, in 2021. Globaldata expects IPTV subscriptions to surpass cable TV subscriptions in 2026. IPTV subscriptions will grow robustly during 2021-2026, supported by improving fixed broadband infrastructure and rising adoption of multiplay packages inclusive of IPTV services.
