Of the digital TV household additions between 2010 and 2014, 287 million were in the Asia Pacific region; more than doubling its total to 513 million. China became the largest digital TV household nation in 2010, rising to 285 million digital TV homes (27% of the world s total) by end-2014.
The number of pay TV cribers (analog and digital) reached 878 million by 2014, up from 718 million in 2010.

North America (111 million) was the second largest region, although its 2014 figure was lower than in 2010. China had the most pay TV by end-2014 (254 million, up by 59 million on 2010). India added 28 million pay TV, with Brazil (10 million more), Mexico (6 million) and Indonesia (4 million) also showing strong growth. However, pay TV criber numbers fell in Italy, the US and France. Pay TV [criptions and on-demand from movies and TV episodes] crossed $200 billion in 2014, up by 14.5% from $176 billion in 2010.
