LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global conditional access system market report until 2021. This research report also lists 11 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The digital operator providers use conditional access system (CAS) to help the content owners to distribute their digital content and not allow any unauthorized access or replication of the content. CAS also enables customers to change their service providers without having to change their STBs. In 2016, the market experienced growth in the number of STB installations because of the constant evolution in the video quality, which is continuing in 2017 as well. The market is witnessing a growing demand for technologically advanced STBs, such as hybrid STBs and HD STBs, and advanced services such as 3DTV, multi-screen, and multi-room services.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global CAS market is highly competitive and consolidated with major players like China Digital TV Holding, Cisco Systems, Nagravision, Verimatrix, and Irdeto. The market is competitive because it has many large and small players. Intense competition with rapid technological changes and a frequent change in the consumer preferences presents risks to the vendors in the market. Established players, such as China Digital TV Holding, Cisco Systems, and Nagravision, present innovative products and solutions to the global CAS market to capture the market, maintaining a competitive edge over the rest.
Ujjwal Doshi, an industry expert at Technavio for research on media and entertainment services, says, “Product extensions will intensify the competition among the players in the global market. Vendors are investing in designing, planning, branding, and expanding the existing facilities while acquiring new players in the market. For instance, on January 29, 2016, Cisco Systems announced the acquisition of Acano, headquartered in London, UK, which provides on-premises and cloud-based video infrastructure along with collaboration software.”
