Earlier Report Observations

The Greek market for switching and routing equipment expanded significantly from 2019 to 2021, with market volume rising from 26.5 thousand units to 73.4 thousand units and market value increasing from 143.5 million USD to 230.6 million USD. This growth was primarily driven by sustained government initiatives such as the National Broadband Plan and Digital Transformation Bible, alongside EU Recovery and Resilience Facility funding, which stimulated telecom infrastructure development. Concurrently, major telecom operators invested heavily in deploying 5G networks and enhancing digital public services, boosting demand for communication apparatus.

Following this period, import volumes fluctuated but remained at elevated levels, with a notable surge to 97.3 thousand units in 2024. The market continued to be shaped by infrastructure investments, including the expansion of 5G standalone networks by operators like Cosmote and substantial funding for '5G for Smart Communities' projects. Regulatory advancements, such as the implementation of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) in Greece and the establishment of the National AI Council, further supported market activity. Significant corporate moves, including Deutsche Telekom’s Greek subsidiary OTE Group divesting its Romanian operations to focus on the domestic market, underscored the strategic importance of the Greek telecom sector.
