Executive Summary
Pay TV, often referred to as pay television or subscription television, involves the monetization of audiovisual content broadcast on television. This service is typically accessed through cable, satellite, or internet protocol (IP) TV, where viewers subscribe to packaged content and lease a dedicated coaxial cable or satellite dish network set-top box.
The main types of pay TV are postpaid and prepaid. Postpaid connections offer customers all the features and benefits of prepaid plans, with the consumer settling the bill after utilizing the services over a predetermined billing period. This payment method is often employed by individuals with fixed incomes, allowing them to pay their postpaid expenses once funds are credited to their accounts. Technologies employed in pay TV include cable TV, satellite TV, and internet protocol TV (IPTV), catering to various applications such as residential and commercial use.
The pay TV market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pay TV market statistics, including pay TV industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pay TV market share, detailed pay TV market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pay TV industry. This pay TV market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The pay tv market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $207.26 billion in 2023 to $211.12 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the dominance of the cable TV market, the expansion of direct-to-home (DTH) services, the emergence of pay TV channels, the growth of fiber optic networks, consumer demand for premium content, and regulatory support for subscription models.
The pay tv market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $234.2 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise of over-the-top (OTT) streaming services, a heightened focus on high-definition (HD) and ultra HD content, improved user interfaces, regulatory adaptations to streaming practices, and a shift towards internet protocol television. Prominent trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of streaming services, a transition to IP-based delivery, the provision of personalized viewing experiences, strategies for data monetization, the bundling of services and forming partnerships, as well as integration with smart TV platforms.
The projected increase in the demand for UHD and 4K services is set to drive the growth of the pay TV market. 4K denotes digital cinema projectors featuring a resolution of '4096 x 2160, with four times the pixels of Full HD (1920 x 1080) TVs, while ultra-high-definition (UHD) pertains to televisions with a resolution of 3840 x 2160. Pay TV services are commonly utilized to directly deliver premium content to TVs, offering high-resolution media content with robust content protection. For instance, SES S.A., a telecommunications company based in Luxembourg, provided approximately 8,400 TV channels in 2022, including 3,130 in HD or UHD, reaching 366 million TV homes globally-an increase of five million homes from the previous year. Consequently, the surging demand for UHD and 4K services is a driving force behind the growth of the pay TV market.
The anticipated growth in the pay TV market is further fueled by the increasing demand in residential areas. The residential sector encompasses real estate primarily used for housing purposes. Pay TV services cater to residential needs by offering a diverse range of channels, high-quality content, additional features, access to premium channels, advertising-free options, and a more stable and reliable signal. For example, in October 2023, the United States Census Bureau reported a 13.8% increase in the number of privately owned housing units approved by building permits on a seasonally adjusted yearly basis, reaching 1,524,000 in February compared to the corrected January rate of 1,339,000. Therefore, the growing demand in residential areas is propelling the growth of the pay TV market.
Major companies in the pay TV market are strategically focusing on developing new platforms, such as Spotv pay-television and digital platforms, to drive revenues. Spotv is a South Korean pay TV and digital platform that offers a variety of sports-related programming and content through a subscription television network. For instance, in February 2022, Eclat Media Group, a multimedia company based in South Korea, launched Spotv pay-television and digital platform. This platform has expanded its reach in Southeast Asia, providing a wide array of sports content and related programs, including eSports tournaments. Eclat Media Group introduced two new channels, Spotv and Spotv2, to offer viewers in certain Southeast Asian and East Asian regions access to global sports content.
Major companies in the pay TV market are also keen on adopting new models of pay TV services to drive revenues. Pay TV services involve subscription-based television services requiring viewers to pay a fee for access to programming. For example, in January 2022, Azam Media Limited, an African television service provider, launched pay TV services in Zimbabwe. Azam TV charges a monthly fee of US$5 for a basic subscription of 100 channels, aiming to provide high-quality entertainment to viewers in Zimbabwe and other African nations at an affordable price. The introduction of Azam TV in Zimbabwe is expected to enhance competition in the pay-TV industry and offer viewers additional choices.
In May 2021, 24i Unit Media B.V., a Netherlands-based end-to-end video streaming service, acquired Nordija A/S for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is anticipated to broaden the TV as a Service (TVaaS) model, relieving companies of the daily operational burden and supporting their end-to-end technology platform. Nordija A/S is a Danish software developer operating in the pay TV and streaming platform industry.
