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
