Triple-play criptions to rocket to 400 mil. Global triple-play criptions will reach 400 million by 2017; up by nearly 300 million on the end-2011 total and up by 380 million on the 2007 total, according to a new report from Digital TV Research. Covering 80 countries, the 308-page Triple-Play Forecasts report estimates that the Asia Pacific region will contribute 257 million of the 2017 total; up by more than 200 million on the end-2011 total. China alone will have 193 million triple-play cribers by 2017 (with only 39 million recorded at end-2011) or 48% of the global total. 700,000 600,000 500,000 Global households by bundle (000) 400,000 300,000 200,000 Triple-play Double-play Standalone 100,000 0 Source: Digital TV Research Ltd Simon Murray, author of the report, said: The number of triple-play households will overtake the standalone TV total in 2013. The standalone TV total will begin to decline from 2016 as homes convert to bundles. There will be 84 million double-play cribers in 2017. Murray continued: So 61% of cable and DSL/fiber TV cribers will pay for triple-play bundles by 2017, up from 38% in 2011 and only 21% in 2007. By way of comparison, the standalone TV proportion will fall from 63% in 2007 and 49% by end-2011 to only 27% by 2017. Despite rapid growth in IPTV criptions, cable will still contribute nearly twothirds of triple-play cribers by 2017. However, triple-play penetration will remain higher in DSL and fiber homes (81% by 2017) than in cable homes (54%).
This report defines triple-play as homes cribing to TV, broadband and fixed telephony services. Double-play is TV and broadband cribers. These are cribers to cable and DSL & fiber networks, so the figures exclude satellite TV providers (such as BSkyB in the United Kingdom) which supply triple-play and double-play bundles. More than a quarter of the world s TV households (covering 80 countries) will cribe to triple-play services by 2017. This is up from only 8% penetration at end-2011 and only 2% at end-2007. Proportions in 2017 will be highest in the Netherlands and Belgium (both with 64%), followed by Taiwan (60%) and Singapore (59%). Eight countries will have more than 50% triple-play penetration by 2017. Triple-play cription will reach US$149 billion by 2017. The US (US$59 billion) will account for 40% of the world s triple-play by 2017, followed by Japan (US$13 billion), China (US$12 billion) and Canada (US$10 billion). From the US$93 billion to be added between 2011 and 2017, the US will supply US$32 billion, with Japan and China each up by US$10 billion. Triple-play overtook standalone TV in 2010. Standalone TV will start falling from 2014 as cribers defect to bundles and as cable and DSL/fiber operators offer lower-priced packages due to greater competition from other platforms.
