IPTV Global Market Report 2024

The iptv market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $138.81 billion in 2023 to $162.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increased broadband internet penetration, shifts in content consumption patterns, advancements in compression and encoding technologies, the global expansion of broadband infrastructure, and the proliferation of smart TVs and connected devices.

The iptv market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $305.16 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. Forecasted growth relies on 5G network emergence, integration with OTT platforms, UHD content demand, interactive and immersive content focus, and the shift to cloud-based IPTV solutions. Key trends include interactive content, cloud-based solutions, content security emphasis, voice control integration, and global IPTV service expansion.

The proliferation of video-on-demand (VoD) services stands out as a significant driver for the growth of the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) market. Internet Protocol TV offers VoD as an innovative feature, allowing consumers to access a diverse range of videos at their convenience. VoD utilizes real-time Streaming Protocol for transmitting videos, and its popularity has surged in recent years, contributing to increased adoption rates of smart TVs. Notably, in 2021, Netflix emerged as the largest paid video streaming platform with 195 million subscribers globally. This trend of growing preference for VoD services is anticipated to be a key factor propelling the expansion of the IPTV market.

The growth of the IPTV market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of internet users. Internet users, defined as individuals who have accessed the Internet within the past three months, play a crucial role in the functioning of IPTV, as it relies on IP networks for the packetized transmission of video content. As of July 2023, global internet user count reached 5.19 billion, representing 64.6% of the world's population, according to BroadbandSearch, a US-based provider of information about internet service providers. This surge in the number of internet users is poised to be a significant factor propelling the growth of the IPTV market.

The growth of the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) market is impeded by significant challenges, including stringent regulatory norms and limited content availability. Countries globally have implemented diverse regulatory frameworks concerning the quality of video transmission. In several jurisdictions, regulators have mandated that IPTV providers adhere to content regulations similar to those imposed on traditional paying television providers. For instance, in Singapore, IPTV providers are subjected to the same programming code applied to paying television providers. In several European countries, including Belgium, France, Sweden, and the UK, IPTV operators utilizing fixed networks are bound by must-carry regulations. These regulations mandate cable or satellite providers to retransmit signals from local over-the-air television stations. The confluence of stringent regulatory norms and constraints in content availability is anticipated to act as a limiting factor for the growth of the IPTV market.

An emerging trend in the IPTV industry is the increasing demand for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connections. FTTH is gaining prominence due to the unparalleled bandwidth and transmission capacity offered by optical fiber, making it an ideal choice for IPTV services. The use of FTTH provides a stable access network, ensuring high-speed broadband and enhancing the overall user experience. A notable example is Airtel's introduction of Xstream fiber-to-the-home services in remote areas such as Ladakh and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in June 2022. Service providers are strategically adopting FTTH to deliver premium content, ultimately aiming to offer an enhanced and seamless user experience.

Major companies in the IPTV market are focusing on product innovation, exemplified by the development of Internet-Protocol-Television (IPTV)/Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms. These platforms feature an integrated video architecture and a redesigned user interface, catering to the needs of customers, as demonstrated by Turk Telekom in September 2022. In collaboration with ZTE, the Turkish-based fixed-line provider launched a cutting-edge IPTV/OTT platform. The collaborative effort involved services such as migrating one million set-top boxes, seamless integration with over ten third-party vendors, and ensuring efficient content delivery. This product innovation strategy is geared towards enhancing profitability and staying competitive in the dynamic IPTV market.

In September 2021, Uniguest, a U.S.-based digital engagement technology provider, successfully acquired UCView for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition involves the integration of UCView into Tripleplay, Uniguest's digital signage, and IPTV brand. UCView, a U.S.-based company specializing in digital signage and IPTV, will continue to cater to clients across various sectors, including enterprises, education, retail, stadiums, and more, under the Uniguest umbrella.
