(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r9r6c3/satellite_paytv) has announced the addition of the "Satellite Pay-TV: Key Economics & Prospects" report to their offering.
Satellite Pay-TV: Key Economics & Prospects assesses the market structure, trends, drivers and current/future financial aspects of the direct-to-home pay-TV business. The report covers extensive analysis of best practices in the satellite pay-TV business, supported by extensive databases on satellite pay-TV players worldwide. Information from all satellite pay-TV platforms currently in service and/or under development was analyzed in order to cover different aspects of the satellite pay-TV business, ranging from service offerings to subscription trends, key metrics (ARPU, OPEX, chum), revenues, profit margins and forecasts. In addition to global market assessments, targeted regional focuses highlight selected drivers, forecasts and country-specific issues.
Highlights from the report:
The global satellite pay-TV industry has observed strong growth in the past five years despite an increasingly competitive TV landscape where IPTV, DTT and connected entertainment services have rapidly expanded their reach. Subscriptions to satellite pay-TV reached 196 million homes in 2013 and revenues topped $97 billion. While key performance indicators of the sector continued to grow, a slight slowdown was observed, largely attributable to the lack of dynamism in mature markets. Emerging markets now account for 60% of global subscribers, as well as nearly 100% of subscription growth.
Emerging markets should account for nearly 100% of growth in subscriptions, revenues and number of TV channels by 2023. Global subscriptions should reach 340 million in 2023; emerging markets should account for nearly 80% of the total, with Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa expected to be the fastest-growing regions. Subscriptions will be largely supported by the greater availability of low-cost offerings. Nearly 30,000 channels should be distributed in 2023, with growth favored by the take-off of HD in emerging markets and rollout of the 1st UHD channels.
