Fixed and Pay-TV Markets, Q1 2023: developments and future outlook
This report is available to those subscribed to the Fixed, TV and Convergence module.
Fixed and pay-TV markets continue to evolve around the world, with M&A, competition (including from OTT players) and technology investments major drivers. This quarterly series outlines the latest market developments and the key trends to watch, charting the period to 2030. The report also provides comprehensive cross-country comparisons, allowing you to identify which markets or technologies will grow the most or how OTT competition will impact the adoption of traditional pay TV.
The datasets, available in a detailed Excel file, provide granular operator-level data, with quarterly data available from Q1 2010. The fixed telecoms data extends to 36 of the largest markets globally (equating to more than 90% of global fixed broadband connections) across a wide range of reported metrics, including connections, technology splits for broadband and pay TV, bundling and financials.
GSMA Intelligence provides a market-level outlook for key technologies and historical modelled connection estimates at the operator level for each market. A key input to this is the Product Tracker, also available in Excel, which records the launch of fixed technologies and bundled product offerings at the operator level, for each of the markets covered.
