Abstract
This IDC study presents a forecast and analysis of the Asia/Pacific (excluding
Japan) (APEJ) digital STB market. For the digital STB shipments, the market
segments examined and forecast are free-to-air (FTA), cable, satellite, and
Internet Protocol television (IPTV). This study covers developments in the
digital STB market in the following key markets: Australia, India, Korea, the
People's Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, Taiwan and the rest of
Asia/Pacific (ROAP). This study highlights a number of key trends in the pay-TV
STB market, including market drivers and inhibitors, and pay-TV market dynamics
in APEJ.
"Driven by rapid digitization and continued economic growth, the digital pay-TV
market in APEJ continues to grow, recording shipments of 10.06 million digital
STBs in 2005, with a 62.3% increase over 2004," says Claudio Checchia, research
manager, Consumer Markets. "While the majority of digital pay-TV operators in
APEJ continue to deploy STBs with basic functionality, some operators have
started to deploy high-end digital STBs with twin-tuner and PVR-functionality."
