Video Infrastructure Market to Grow 43% as Cisco Boosts Its Share
RENO, NV, Aug 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
New data from Synergy Research Group shows that the video
infrastructure market generated revenues of $32 billion for
technology vendors in 2011, a figure which is forecast to grow by
over 7% per year to reach $45 billion by 2016. While revenues from
client hardware and software segment (comprised primarily of set-top
boxes, residential gateways and associated software) will remain
relatively flat at around $14 billion per year, particularly strong
growth will be seen in content management and distribution
(comprising content delivery networks, media data centers and content
management related software), which will surge to become a $23
billion market by 2016. Revenue from professional services related to
video infrastructure will also show strong growth, while the content
acquisition and preparation segment will grow by a steady 5% per
year.
Driving the growth in infrastructure sales are two big trends --
transformation of a relatively mature pay-TV market and a surge in
OTT services. The number of pay-TV subscribers worldwide will keep on
growing steadily, but more importantly the number of digital pay-TV
subscribers will continue surging to reach over 900 million by 2016.
Meanwhile IP will have a major impact on pay-TV networks, which will
continue evolving towards data centers and cloud-centric
architectures. On the OTT side, the boom in accessing free content
will continue to drive huge increases in traffic while generating
little revenue for service providers, but at the same time paid OTT
services will account for an ever-larger proportion of the revenues
of pay-TV operators, which will in turn drive investment in
technology that is able to support OTT.
"Clearly the biggest event in this market recently is Cisco's
acquisition of NDS," says Jeremy Duke, Synergy Research Group's
founder and Chief Analyst. "The price was high but you can see the
rationale. Cisco was already a market leader with 18% video
infrastructure market share; the addition of NDS boosts this to 21%
by adding revenues and customers in some key market segments. It also
significantly expands what Cisco can offer to telcos and to cable
operators looking to migrate their traditional cable head ends to
data center and cloud architectures -- which we believe is a
multi-billion dollar market in transition."
