Slower growth for mature IPTV markets

October 27, 2013 10.31 Europe/London By Broadband TV News Correspondent

At the end of June 2013, there were 87.2m IPTV subscriptions across the globe. In the 12 months since Q2 2012, the IPTV subscriber market grew by 24%, with 17m net additions.

The mature IPTV markets in North America, Western Europe and Asia all reported slower growth in the second quarter of 2013 than in the first quarter, whilst the smaller IPTV markets in Eastern Europe, Latin and Central America and Oceania are growing more rapidly, according to research by Point Tpic.

Global IPTV trends

Nearly half of all global IPTV subscribers are in Asia, and more than two-thirds of these subscriptions are in China. Even so, subscriber growth has fallen in East Asia in this quarter, with Japan reporting a loss following the closure of Yahoo Japan’s IPTV service in March 2013. Spain and Italy also reported a loss of IPTV subscribers in the second quarter of 2013.

The mature IPTV markets in North America, Western Europe and Asia all reported slower growth in the second quarter of 2013 than in the first quarter, whilst the smaller IPTV markets in Eastern Europe, Latin and Central America and Oceania are growing more rapidly.

Regional IPTV share

The UK has seen a dramatic increase in its subscriber numbers in the quarter as provider TalkTalk continues to add subscribers to its YouView service. The UK now replaces Taiwan in the top ten ranking countries for IPTV subscriber numbers. Beyond this, there have been no changes in the ranking of the countries with the largest IPTV subscriber base.
