Internet main growth driver for Swiss cable in 2014

March 5, 2015 09.56 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

Swiss TV market 31 12 2014 (Swisscable)The Swiss cable operators have gained 95,200 new internet customers last year.

In total, 1.15 million households surfed the net through a cable subscription at the end of 2014 – an increase by 9% within one year, according to industry association Swisscable. Across the past 3 years, the growth amounts to 33%.

The number of telephony customers rose by 3.6% to 665,300.

For classic cable television, however, the strong competition with IPTV operators showed its impact: The number of cable TV subscribers dropped by 1.8% to 2.64 million.

With a market share of 62% cable TV still remained the most-used TV reception method, though, in 2014 (see chart).

IPTV platform Swisscom TV reached a market share of 27% with 1.17 million customers followed by DTH satellite reception with 315.000 households (7%), IPTV platform Sunrise TV with 103.000 customers (2%) and DTT with 35,000 households (1%).
