DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vfxfvq/digital_tv_world_r) has announced the addition of the "Digital TV World Revenue Forecasts" report to their offering.
Based on forecasts for 80 countries, pay TV revenues will climb to US$200 billion in 2017, up by US$23 billion on 2011 but up by only US$2 billion (1%) on 2016, according to a new report from Digital TV Research. The forecasts are based on subscription and on-demand revenues.
The Digital TV World Revenue Forecasts report concludes that DTH (DBS) revenues will overtake cable TV revenues in 2015. DTH revenues will reach US$91 billion in 2017, up from US$76 billion in 2011.
The report author, said: Brazil will add the most DTH revenues [US$3.86 billion] between 2011 and 2017 - nearly doubling its total in the process. The US will grow by US$3.1 billion, meaning that Brazil and the US will contribute nearly half of the extra revenues. However, DTH revenues will decline for 17 countries between 2011 and 2017. Much of this is due to greater competition forcing down ARPUs. Furthermore, low-cost DTH packages are making a significant impact in several countries.
Cable TV revenues will begin to slide in 2014, with revenues falling by US$3.2 billion between 2011 and 2017 to US$85 billion. However, cable operators will gain extra revenues by converting subscribers to bundles.
Digital cable TV revenues will climb from US$62 billion in 2011 to US$81 billion in 2017 (up by 32%) - a faster increase than DTH. China will add US$4.1 billion in digital cable TV revenues over this period, followed by Japan with an extra US$3.6 billion. Digital cable TV revenues will fall by US$1.1 billion in the US over the same period. In fact, digital cable TV revenues will drop for 12 countries.
Analog cable TV revenues will decline by US$23 billion between 2011 and 2017 to only US$4.1 billion in 2017. India will account for half of the remaining 2017 total.
IPTV revenues will climb to US$21.3 billion in 2017, up from US$9.7 billion in 2011. The US will remain the largest IPTV revenue earner by taking a third of the 2017 total. Despite being relative newcomers, Fios TV and U-Verse, in particular, have made impressive subscriber gains in the US mainly at the expense of the cable operators, due to aggressive pricing campaigns.
Global pay TV revenues will only grow by 13.5% between 2011 and 2017. Revenues will fall in North America and will only grow by 3.5% in Western Europe. However, Latin America will enjoy a 57.5% increase, followed by Eastern Europe (48.5%) and Asia Pacific (40.1%).
The Digital TV World Revenue Forecasts report concludes that DTH (DBS) revenues will overtake cable TV revenues in 2015. DTH revenues will reach US$91 billion in 2017, up from US$76 billion in 2011.
