Asian and Eastern European Pay-TV Market Growth
A jump in cable and satellite set-top box shipments in Asia-Pacific markets is being driven by cable digitization in India and China — as well as China’s roll-out of digital satellite boxes to its rural households.
“Digital transitions are bringing consumers access to hundreds of international channels and a few HD services for the first time. Asia-Pacific and Eastern Europe’s growth in set-top box units will outstrip those of the rest of the world in the next 5 years,” according to Sam Rosen, practice director of TV & video at ABI Research.
