The new IPTV Global Forecast Report
San Jose, CA -- May 2009 from
MRG, Inc. shows that 2008 actual IPTV subscribers ended up at about
1 million over its last forecast in late 2008, or 21.3 million,
resulting in projected subscriber growth of 26.9 million in 2009 to
over 81 million in 2013. Combined (last-mile) CapEx revenue plus
service revenue will grow from US$9.7 billion in 2009 to US$25.6
billion in 2013. |

The new IPTV forecast for 2009-2013 is both conservative and
optimistic, based on very detailed semi-annual analysis that MRG
does on individual Service Providers and on a country-by-country
basis.
"The relatively strong market in 2008 caused CapEx transactions to
flourish through the end of 2008," says Jose Alvear, MRG Analyst.
"That anticipatory wave of orders kept vendors' pipelines full all
the way through 2008, but in Q1/2009, many IPTV vendors reported
single-digit reduction in revenues, which is reflected in our
flattened 2009 forecast."
Yet, one positive indicator was strong IPTV subscriber growth of
583,000 combined for Verizon and AT&T in Q1/2009. Another is the
large number of new IPTV Operators in Eastern Europe and the
Rest-of-World (ROW) region, moving from 64 companies to 84.
Countries like Colombia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Montenegro and
the Russian federation have seen new growth in their operations
As the IPTV market matures, many innovations are emerging, including
upgrades like DVRs and MPEG-4/H.264 compression, High-definition
programming, and first class System Integration. "Professional
services growth is brought on by stronger regional partnerships of
vendors and resellers that continue to move into smaller markets,"
states Alvear. "Growth in System Integration and Professional
Services will also be spurred by the growth of turnkey system sales
where all the components and services are heavily pre-integrated."
The report includes the market growth of six (last-mile) CapEx
products plus System Integration in 4 worldwide regions, with
details about these 24 sectors and the related subscriber and system
revenues for 2009 to 2013. Information is available at
