IPTV Global Forecast – 2011 to 2015 Semiannaual IPTV Global Forecast — February 2012 http://www.mrgco.com/iptv/gf0212.html Executive Summary The February 2012 IPTV Global Forecast – 2011 to 2015 is the latest revision of the earlier edition published by MRG, Inc. in August 2011. It incorporates the most recent information on current IPTV deployments around the world, as well a forecast for IPTV subscribers, service revenue, and system revenue from 2011 to 2015. In total, this report breaks down the IPTV ecosystem into nine industry segments: DSL Subscribers, IPTV Subscribers, Access Systems, Video Headend Encoder Systems, Video-on-Demand Server Software Licenses, Set-top Boxes, Middleware Software Licenses, Content Protection/Digital Rights Management (CP/DRM) Software Licenses, and System Integration and Professional Services. In addition, this report splits the market into four regions around the world: Europe, Asia, North America and Rest of World, and also provides a global market summary. To do this, the report identifies over 930 Service Providers (Operators) worldwide offering IPTV services. The number of Operators has increased since the last report, since more of them have launched services in the last 12 months or announced new trials. This data is frequently refreshed to ensure that duplicate Operators are removed and that the most up-to-date numbers are used. The new forecast indicates that the number of global IPTV subscribers will grow from 53 million at the end of 2011 to 105.1 million in 2015, a compound annual growth rate of 18.7%. (See Figure 1-1.)

By 2015, Europe and North America will generate a larger share of the global revenue, due to very low ARPUs in Asia. New and innovative services of key Operators are also described here, as a means to show how Operators are competing with other local Pay-TV Providers.  Figure 1-2: Global IPTV Service Revenue Forecast Source: Copyright © 2012 MRG, Inc.
