Abstract
This IDC study presents the current forecast for the worldwide digital pay TV
set-top box market. Market segments examined and forecast in this study are
digital cable, direct-to-home (DTH) or direct broadcast satellite (DBS), and
Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) set-top boxes. The forecast reflects units shipped
(to either operators or end users) for each of the delivery systems worldwide
as well as revenue derived from box sales. This forecast does not include
free-to-air (FTA) boxes used for satellite and terrestrial reception outside
the context of a pay TV subscription.
"The worldwide pay TV digital set-top box market is forecast to reach more than
136 million units shipped across the three key segments of cable, satellite,
and IPTV in 2012, representing a combined market opportunity of over $17
billion," said Greg Ireland, research manager in IDC' s Consumer Markets: Video
program.
