Following a relatively flat three-
year period, the global STB
market managed to achieve the
highest annual revenue total in
its history in 2013, setting the
stage for continued growth
through 2015, according to IHS
Technology.
Worldwide digital STB shipment
revenue last year totaled $20.3
billion, up 3% from $19.6 billion
in 2012, as presented in the
attached figure. Revenue will set
new highs during the next two
years and will peak at $22.8
billion in 2015. This follows the
period from 2010 through 2012
when revenue remained in the
$19.5 billion range.
“Set-top boxes proved to be
critical to the strategies of pay
TV operators in 2013,” said
Daniel Simmons, director for
Connected Home research at IHS.
“Far from being pushed out of
the living room by Internet-
enabled consumer electronics,
STBs are being repositioned as
the hub of the connected home.
STBs increasingly are being
transformed into multimedia
home gateways (MHG), which
combine support for pay-TV
services with Internet access,
residential gateway services, Wi-
Fi and other advanced features.”
These findings are derived from
IHS Technology’s latest STB
Market Monitor report, from the
Consumer Electronics service of
IHS.
Growth in 2013 was mainly
driven by MHG reaching large-
scale in North America. http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2014/07/17/stb-revenue-posts-best-year-ever-in-2013/
