Strong growth predicted in set-top box market
IPTV set-top box revenues in North America and Europe are expected to total $765m by 2010. Cumulative shipments in these markets are expected to reach over $3.2bn between 2007 and 2011.
These predictions appear in a report from Light Reading Insider, which provides targeted analysis of the telecom industry.
The report reveals a trend towards market convergence, with satellite set-top boxes gaining IP capability and IPTV STBs gaining DTT capability, meaning that more vendors are entering into competition with each other. The report goes on to say that individual STB vendors must work hard to open up their share of an increasingly fragmented market.
The North American and European markets for IPTV STBs showed strong growth during 2007, with an estimated 4.5 million boxes shipped. Sales of IPTV STBs are forecast to continue to grow in volume and value across the two regions through 2010, as more service providers launch their IPTV services.
The research also notes that home networking is lining up to be a target area for all types of service providers, as vendors work on solutions that open up access to viewing content from all types of devices such as games consoles, mobile phones, PCs and portable devices, as well as integrating Internet access and communications functions.
It is concluded that many service providers haven’t really thought out their home-networking strategy.
