About this report
EY-Parthenon teams and the European Wireless Infrastructure Association (EWIA) have consistently published reports on the European neutral host wireless infrastructure sector. This series commenced in March 2015 and has been updated periodically with refreshed editions in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2024. Additionally, a March 2023 report focused on the sustainability contributions of the sector that complemented this series. The current report provides an update on the economic contributions of the European wireless infrastructure sector, with its previous version published in May 2024. For convenience, the neutral host wireless infrastructure is commonly referred to as neutral host TowerCos or simply “TowerCos.”
Information for this report was sourced from EWIA member companies, analyst reports, Towerxchange website and EY-Parthenon analysis, May 2025. The trends described in this report are expected to continue as demonstrated by market activity which was ongoing at the time of publication and is not included in this report’s figures.
