Through the end of 2023, satellite TV providers in Canada has struggled to maintain its subscribers as consumers have migrated toward substitute services, like Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). Prior to the current period, these providers have continuously added subscribers before the proliferation of internet-based TV subscription packages. Through the last ten years, satellite TV providers have endured a steady dip in subscribers, ultimately dropping prey to external competition, like Netflix Inc. and EPICIPTV.net. Revenue is expected to drop at a CAGR of 1.2% to $2.2 billion through the end of 2023, including a 0.6% forecast dip in 2023 alone alongside a dip in housing starts.
