The UK cable and satellite TV market was worth £3.3bn in 2003.
April 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
Cable & Satellite TV - Market Report
The UK cable and satellite TV market was worth £3.3bn in 2003. The market has grown by 59.6% since 2000 on the back of strong growth in subscriber numbers and a constant push by the platform operators to raise the average revenue per subscribing unit (ARPU). In 2004, Key Note expects revenue to reach £3.7bn.
The market segments into four sectors: analogue cable, digital cable, paid-for satellite and free satellite. Only the digital cable and paid-for satellite are assumed to have a long-term future in the UK.
The UK market is dominated by the satellite platform and one key player, BSkyB, which is both the leading platform operator and a leading content provider. BSkyB's only rivals are the cable companies - Telewest, which like BSkyB acts as both a platform provider and content provider, and NTL, which although larger than Telewest in terms of its platform operations does not supply content. Given the segmentation of the cable market into distinct franchised areas, the industry operates effectively as a duopoly, with consumers choosing between one cable operator and BSkyB in each franchise area.
Despite the duopoly nature of the market, competition is fierce and all three main players now face a new competitive challenge from the rapidly growing free-to-air digital terrestrial platform, Freeview.
The cable and satellite industry is set for major changes between 2004 and 2008 as there will be a competitive scramble to sign up households given the proposed switch off of the analogue TV signal between 2006 and 2010.
