DUBLIN, Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Sub-Saharan Africa Pay TV Forecasts" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The number of pay TV subscribers in Sub-Saharan Africa will increase by 74% between 2017 and 2023 to reach 40.89 million. However, the Sub-Saharan Africa Pay TV Forecasts report estimates that subscriber growth will outstrip revenue progress. Pay TV revenues will climb by 41% to $6.64 billion by 2023, up by $2 billion on 2017.

From the 23.49 million pay TV subscribers at end-2017, 13.78 million were satellite TV and 9.11 million DTT. By 2023, satellite TV will contribute 20.89 million and DTT 17.53 million. This means an extra 7 million pay satellite TV subscribers and 8 million more pay DTT homes.

Published in January 2018, this 322-page PDF and excel report comes in seven parts:

  • Executive summary and regional forecasts, with handy comparison tables to reveal the best growth prospects;
  • Major pay TV operators, including market share for each;
