Australia - Pay TV - Statistics - Subscribers, Overview and Analysis

Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, March 2013, Pages: 12

Subscription TV growth has slowed as subscriber churn increases and newcomers are wary of a long-term commitment as the market moves into 2013. BuddeComm sees the subscribers from major operator falling as subscribers leave their existing Pay TV model for FTA digital channels and their catchup TV availability as well as online services using Over-The-Top (OTT) digital media services.

Meanwhile FOXTEL continues to provide additional services and streamlines its packages as the integration of AUSTAR continues. Providing more sports has always been a popular attraction but all the additional costs are not driving additional demand. BuddeComm believes that aiming services that are affordable will eventually see the subscribers come. Uptake of services through IPTV services such as FetchTV is starting to see an increase in numbers.

By 2013 pay TV household penetration continues to fall and BuddeComm sees is unlikely to reach 30% for a number of years if the current subscription TV practices continue. We also provide forecast subscription TV uptake scenarios using household penetration as a measurement through to 2015 and 2020. These scenarios are based on lower and upper forecasts of where the market may trend over the coming years.

In this report we provide a range of statistics such as subscriber numbers and penetration rates. These are presented across a range of tabular and easy-to-read chart formats with analysis and commentary provided where appropriate.

Smart TV, pay TV, digital TV, subscription television, FTA TV, subscribers, penetration, additional subscription streams for subscribers.

Companies covered in this report include:
