IPTV Expected to
Make Big Gains in Asia
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 29, 2007
Competition between IPTV and
cable/satellite TV is heating up in
Asia, with IPTV poised to gain
significant market share over the
next several years, reports In-Stat
the
opportunity to fundamentally change
their broadband customers'
video
service experience, from traditional
video clip streaming to
downloading and just plain watching
TV.
"There has been no conclusive
evidence showing whether IPTV or
cable/satellite TV will ultimately
win the customers' vote," says
Alice
Zhang, In-Stat analyst. "In the
Asia/Pacific region, it is
expected that both traditional
cable/satellite pay TV and IPTV will
co-exist at least for the next
several years."
Recent research by In-Stat found the
following:
-
There were 2.7 million IPTV
subscribers in Asia in 2006, and
this
number is expected to exceed 33
million by 2012.
-
Total revenue from consumers of IPTV
content broadcasted in
Asia/Pacific will reach US$8 billon
by 2012.
-
Mature markets include Japan and
Hong Kong, contributing to about
60%
of the total Asia/Pacific subscriber
population in 2006; these
markets are expected to continue to
lead Asia/Pacific in IPTV
