TeleGeography, a global telecommunications market research and consulting firm, has found that global internet bandwidth rose by 28% in 2022, now standing at 997 Tbps with a four-year CAGR of 29%. The firm forecasts that the Pbps era will soon be underway.research tracks the continued return to “normal” from the pandemic-generated bump of 2020.
Africa experienced the most rapid growth of international internet bandwidth, growing at a compound annual rate of 44% between 2018 and 2022. Asia sits behind Africa, rising at a 35% compound annual rate during the same period. On a global scale—COVID bump aside—the pace of growth has been slowing.The growth in international internet bandwidth and internet traffic remain similar.
Following the COVID-19 traffic surge in 2020, a global return to more typical usage patterns meant a decline in average and peak utilization rates. Average traffic growth dropped from 47% between 2019-2020 to 29% between 2021-2022, while peak traffic growth dropped from 46% to 28% over the same time period.
“After a tumultuous 2020—with pandemic-induced volume surges and shifts in internet traffic patterns—network operators are back to adding bandwidth and engineering their traffic in a more measured manner,” said TeleGeography Senior Research Manager Paul Brodsky. “Based on hard survey data gathered from dozens of regional and global network operators around the world, it’s clear that the COVID-related expansion of internet traffic and bandwidth was a one-off phenomenon.
