Abstract
China is now the bastion of global digital STB manufacturing with over 200 STB
assembly service providers in 2007. The STB IC market is, however, still
dominated by STMicro and LSI. Chinese STB IC makers have only a limited market
share and most are focusing on domestically developed Chinese standards. With
China' s release of the DMB-TH terrestrial and ABS-S satellite broadcasting
standards in 2007, new market opportunities have opened up for Chinese STB IC
makers. The report examines the current developments of the Chinese STB IC
industry in terms of leading companies' background, products, R&D, and
customers.
