Residential spending slightly increases in postal services and telecommunications sector
In an analysis of household expenditure on post and telecommunications in Germany from 2014 to 2019, some key findings emerge.
In 2014, the average monthly cost for telecommunications devices, including phones, smartphones, routers, and the like, was 4 euros. Fast-forward to 2019, and this figure had risen to 7 euros. The increase, approximately 3 euros, indicates a slight uptick in the cost of maintaining and purchasing telecommunications devices over the years.
The average monthly expenditure on postal services remained relatively stable for single-person households, staying at 48 euros since 2014. However, for two-person households, the expenditure increased from 48 euros in 2014 to 70 euros in 2019. The trend continued for households with three and four persons, as the average monthly expenditure on postal services rose from 48 euros in 2014 to 88 euros in 2019 for households with three persons, and from 48 euros to 89 euros for households with four persons.
The average monthly cost for internet access fees remained steady at 3 euros, while the average monthly cost for fixed-line connection fees was 8 euros in 2019. The average monthly cost for combined internet and phone flat rates in 2019 was 24 euros.
Interestingly, the average monthly expenditure on telecommunications services, including mobile phone services and internet access, accounted for around 54 euros of the overall monthly expenditure on post and telecommunications in 2019. This suggests that a significant portion of a household's budget is dedicated to telecommunications services.
Larger household size tends to correlate with higher expenditure on post and telecommunications. For instance, households with five or more persons spent an average of 104 euros per month on post and telecommunications, while two-person households spent an average of 70 euros and single-person households spent 48 euros.
