- APAC region to contribute more than 40 per cent to growth of IPTV Market
China Telecom is the leading vendor in the Global IPTV Market for the 2012-2016 forecast period according to the latest research findings by independent London-based global research firm, TechNavio.
Speaking on this occasion, one of the senior analyst and co-author of this report said, “The Global IPTV market is led by China Telecom with a market share of more than 27 percent as on 2012. One of the key reasons for the success of this company has been due to the large subscriber base in China. In addition, the company has an exclusive relation with Huawei Technologies that is supplying high-quality set-top boxes to the company, a key requisite for offering IPTV services. As of 2012, the company had wireline broadband subscribers of approximately 90 million, wireline access lines in service of approximately 163 million and mobile subscribers of approximately 161 million; which is enhancing the fortunes of the company.”
The Global IPTV market is highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of vendors. Globally, five players are dominating the IPTV market: AT&T, China Telecom, Iliad, France Telecom, and Verizon Communications. With the entry of other smaller players, the market will be witnessing a lot of mergers and acquisitions in the near future.
Presently, there are approximately 160 IPTV operators in the world and the market will be witnessing a steady increase in their numbers during the forecast period. Further, the level of competition is depending on the number of subscribers and operators in a particular region, since it defines the bargaining power of both parties. For instance, in China, the bargaining power of customers is very high, leading to price wars among the operators in this market. This in turn is lowering the ARPU (average revenue per user of the IPTV services).
To determine the scenario for these vendors in the next 3-4 years, TechNavio analysts have conducted in-depth analysis of the impact of market drivers, challenges and trends featuring data on product segmentations, vendor shares, growth rate by revenue and an evaluation of the different buying criteria in order of importance.
