DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Digital TV North America Forecasts 2016" report to their offering.
The number of pay TV subs in North America [Canada and the US] will fall from 112 million in the peak year of 2012 to 106 million in 2021, according to the fifth edition of the Digital TV North America Forecasts report.
Simon Murray, Principal Analyst, said: At first glance, this does not indicate a massive cord-cutting problem. However, the number of non-pay TV homes will climb from 20.7 million to 33.3 million over the same period [as the number of households will continue to increase]. To put it another way, pay TV penetration will drop from 87.1% in 2012 to 80.3% in 2021.
Pay TV revenues [subscriptions and on-demand] in North America peaked in 2015 at $111.64 billion. Digital TV Research forecasts that revenues will fall by 12.1% - or $13.54 billion - to $98.10 billion in 2021. Cable revenues will decline by $10.76 billion - $2.14 billion less from analog cable and $8.62 billion lower for digital cable. Satellite TV will lose a further $2.13 billion, and IPTV $0.65 billion.
