Accelerated PH digital shift to track global trend

Globe expects Filipinos’ rapid adoption of digital services to gain even more momentum in the coming months, as more and more customers rely on online apps and devices to complete everyday tasks. The company’s pivot into a digital solutions platform, while continuing to enhance its telco business, is being accelerated in part to meet this growing demand.

The company cited the growth of its data-related revenues, which reached a record high in 2021, as a key indicator of the growing demand for ICT services that enable customers’ daily experiences. Globe’s data traffic soared to 3,733 petabytes last year, a 48% rise from 2,517 petabytes in 2020. Globe’s mobile data, home broadband and corporate data revenues accounted for 80% of its total service revenues last year.
