Digital Direct-to-Home (DTH) pay-TV revenues continue to grow at a faster rate than subscribers, as annual average revenue per user (ARPU) grows with price increases and additional services. Revenues will be US$46 billion in 2005 and will rise to US$80 billion in 2009, the high-tech market research firm says.
In countries where DTH pay-TV has been available for over five years, as in North America and Europe, the market is mature and subscriber growth is slowing. Where DTH pay-TV platforms were launched after 2000, subscriber growth rates are higher. In India, for example, DTH pay-TV subscribers are expected to have tripled in 2005.
This recent report found the following:
- The digital DTH pay-TV market is now in its 12th year, with 60 platforms in countries around the world.
- By the end of 2008, there will be 100 million digital DTH pay-TV subscribers, continuing the DTH reign as the top digital TV platform.
- The expected launch of a DTH pay-TV platform in China in 2006 or 2007 will help make Asia the fastest-growing region for DTH pay-TV subscribers.
Summary
By the end of 2008, we expect there to be 100 million digital DTH pay-TV subscribers, continuing the DTH reign as the top digital TV platform.
In this report, we profile the top digital DTH pay-TV platforms worldwide and discuss the DTH market in each country with a DTH provider. We also provide information on the new platforms launching in India and China, as well as plans for new HD and DVR services.
