Increasing demand for UHD 4K video content, surging sales of compatible 4K TVs and display devices is expected to positively shape the Ultra High Definition (UHD) set top box market's growth prospects.

Content providers have begun offering sharper and immersive video content to the consumers on account of significant breakthroughs in the 4K technology. Large scale penetration of smart TVs has proved to be instrumental in escalating the demand for such sophisticated set top boxes. Industry vendors have leveraged on providing set top boxes with enhanced broadcast capabilities on Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite (DVB-S/DVB-S2) standards.

Technology giants such as Apple Inc. have managed to make their mark in this competitive market. The Apple TV device streams video and OTT content over the internet. The introduction of advanced OTT devices such as the Fire TV set top box devices from Amazon.com and Chrome cast media streaming devices by Google Inc. have opened up major growth avenues in the industry.

Increasing number of UHD content providers is expected to propel industry growth and is presumed to strengthen the industry's growth prospects. However, high initial and up gradation costs, along with high subscription fees for 4K content is expected to challenge the industry growth over the forecast period.
