📋 Tender Overview
According to the trends of the results of the SONTEL, a survey prepared by the Osiptel, it would be a growth of 30 percentage points in relation to 2016.
Peru continues to experience a sustained increase in Internet access, both in fixed and mobile connections. According to projections made by the Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (Osiptel), 96.8 % Peruvian homes are expected to have Internet access to the year 2026.
Based on this analysis, prepared with the results of the residential survey of telecommunications services (Erestel) of the Osiptel, it would be a growth of more than 30 percentage points in relation to 2016, which demonstrates the need of the population for having digital connectivity, as an essential service for its personal, professional and economic development.
Precisely, on World Telecommunications Day and Information Society (DMTI), which is celebrated every May 17, the importance of reducing access gaps not only of service but also the use of the Internet, where the regulation of telecommunications services has a fundamental role is highlighted.
More than 5.1 million fixed Internet connections in 2026
According to Osiptel estimates, at the end of 2026, Peru would have more than 5.1 million fixed Internet connections, of which more than 3.9 million would be connections that use fiber optic, technology that has been supporting the penetration of the service in the country.
In this way, Peru would be more than duplicating the number of fixed Internet connections in a period of ten years, considering that in 2016 there were 2.1 million accesses to this service.
This sustained advance has been promoted, in part, by the regulatory measures that have contributed with a greater competitive dynamic in the market, the entry and consolidation of new service providers and the increase in the offer of new technologies.
This regulatory framework and the behavior of the fixed Internet market, allowed Peru to be the country whose concentration indicator in this market, measured through the Herfindahl Hirschman (IHH) index, presents the greatest reduction in the region in the last ten years. To 2024, the IHH of Peru is below the IHH of Mexico and Chile, pioneers in the adoption of fiber optics.
