Abstract
Description
Pay-TV services globally have exhibited tremendous growth over the past two
decades, particularly in developed country markets. Driven by economic growth
and increasing levels of disposable income, households of the world' s economic
elite have opted for cable TV, DTH and other emerging platforms such as IPTV
as a basic feature of consumption for household entertainment.
However, as penetration levels begin to increase and saturation levels are
reached in the world' s top economic tier, the pay-TV industry is now looking
for newer markets that are just beginning to emerge. There are a multitude of
countries around the globe that have exhibited highly robust and even stunning
economic growth in recent years. Economic performance appears sustainable and
will likely continue over the medium term, which should lead to rapid and
positive wealth effects for household consumption.
Indeed, TV penetration in many emerging markets has breached the 90% level.
Pay-TV services in these Greenfield markets have exhibited increased take-up
rates, particularly in urban areas for cable TV services. These positive
trends are leading to clear opportunities for DTH, whether as a niche offering
or as a direct competitor to cable TV platforms. Leveraging reach, a digitized
format, as well as outright consumer preference for satellite platforms, DTH
appears to be well positioned in the 10 emerging country markets covered in
this report.
Yet, there are roadblocks and many challenges for DTH service provisioning in
these countries, including:
- Complex Regulatory Environments
- Rural Consumption Patterns and Disposable Income Levels
- Pricing Issues and ROI Considerations
- Content and Channel Growth
- Piracy of Satellite Signals
These and other aspects of the DTH market in 10 emerging countries are
assessed in this latest NSR study. NSR addresses the general market trends per
country, end user or household financial wherewithal, and the role a DTH
platform can play in the specific emerging market. NSR likewise examines the
interplay of other pay-TV platforms, specifically cable-TV and IPTV, which
affect the value proposition of DTH in the pay-TV market. NSR quantifies
demand and revenue forecasts for the various pay-TV offerings such that DTH is
not analyzed in a vacuum but alongside competitive services.
