Report Overview: Internet Protocol Television Market

The global internet protocol television market size was valued at USD 28.1 billion in 2020 and looks set to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2021 to 2027. The rising trend of viewing content via the internet and the continuous price reduction of bundled packages is expected to increase the subscriber base. IPTV’s virtue of flexible deployment, interactive and interoperable user interface, and highly personalization ability offers lucrative prospects to the market growth. Furthermore, the ability of this broadcast network to permit the deployment of one application program by multiple users in a single service network enhances the usability and functionality of the technology. Service providers are offering triple-play bundled package services, including voice, video, and data, in one single access subscription, that has resulted in attracting a large customer base. Service providers are making significant investments in delivering and marketing triple-play services, with a large amount spent on their delivery infrastructure as well. Moreover, customers are trying to create a customized package as per their requirements, as the customers are not impressed with the current deals the providers are offering. Therefore, service providers such as MatrixStream Technologies, Inc., and AT&T, Inc. are offering customized solutions after reviewing the customer requirements, thereby helping them increase their subscriber portfolio. The transition from legacy broadcasting methodologies to broadband internet protocol is also offering significant prospects to industry growth. The internet-based content delivery system facilitates a more straightforward and more effective distribution of content for providers, thus leading to incremental adoption of IPTV services. Additionally, a rising trend amongst telecom operators to deliver integrated services with internet packages is providing an impetus to industry growth. Telecom companies are also increasingly leveraging IPTV technology to transform into Complement Digital Service Providers (CDSP), owing to growing developments in internet infrastructure. The integration of cloud technology offers growth opportunities for the industry. Leveraging cloud technology enables efficient statistical multiplexing, which offers cost-saving capabilities due to network virtualization features. The use of cloud technology for content delivery also allows service providers to lower costs related to storage and distribution content, which enables them to reduce the cost of service as well as ensure efficient profit generation. Covid-19 Impact The current outbreak of a global pandemic, Covid-19, offers temporary yet significant prospects to the IPTV market growth. The present scenario of people being confined to their homes due to lockdown being implemented by various state and national governments facilitates the need to subscribe to internet protocol television services. Furthermore, the rising trend of internet usage in households due to the implementation of ‘work-from-home’ practices has further resulted in the higher internet consumption. The need to subscribe for better internet packages with faster speeds and provision offered by service providers to adhere to add-on facilities such as IPTV services at minimal prices is further providing an impetus to the industry growth. Furthermore, the closure of schools globally has facilitated the setting up of new channels that offer free, tailored content to existing subscribers. For instance, China Telecom Corp. Ltd. and China Unicom Ltd. in China and have started offering free online educational content and live sessions for students. Additionally, closing down of religious places and places of the public gathering are facilitating religious groups, such as churches, to broadcast their services via specified channels. KT Corp. in South Korea offers free usage of Olleh TV Community User Group for users to gain access to preaching offered by churches digitally. Subscription Type Insights The subscription-based IPTV segment accounted for over 51% of the subscriber base in 2019. Provision of bundled packages and UHD TV viewing experience, continue to provide an impetus to the segment growth. Furthermore, rising demand amongst individuals to have access to ad-free and uninterrupted viewing experience is also facilitating the adoption of subscription services. Moreover, service providers have also started offering attractive offers to its paid subscription users as part of the customer loyalty program. For instance, AT&T, Inc. is providing smartphones at lower prices to attract individuals to confer with subscription-based IPTV and data services. The subscription-free IPTV segment accounted for a significant share in 2019. The ability to pay for selected services or events such as the live broadcast of sporting events and pay-per-view events has offered cost-effective solutions to users and facilitated wide-scale adoption of the subscription-free model. This model has enabled customers to mitigate the chances of a data breach as content providers do not ask for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of users. Furthermore, several regions, including North America, have put restrictions on the number of advertisements shown on free subscription IPTV, which offers a comfortable viewing experience to people, thus driving wide-scale adoption of subscription-free IPTV services.
