The advent of 5G technology offers significant growth aspects owing to the increased capability of network slicing and enhanced content distribution networking abilities. 5G technology leveraged Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and formed beam techniques ensure maximum utilization network, thus providing reduced distortion and greater precision in signal transmission. Furthermore, heavy traffic from cloud-based content libraries can easily be distributed due to the high bandwidth capability of the 5G delivery model, thus offering an impetus to market growth. Additionally, the ability of the 5G delivery model to provide UHD viewing experience to the users at affordable rates provides a boost to market growth.

Increased penetration of smart TV and enhanced functionality offered due to the integration of IPTV technology offers impressive market growth opportunities owing to its ability to interconnect with smartphones and tablets. Recent updates by Google Inc. in the distribution of content via set top boxes provide more control to operators, such as start-up, the UI, the application, set-up procedure, and prioritization of content, which is expected to enhance internet protocol television delivery by operators. Furthermore, service providers are offering hybrid IPTVs, which has mitigated the need to implement a separate set top box. Additionally, hybrid IPTVs integrate the functionality of traditional TV services with IPTV, thus featuring enhanced service offerings, which is expected to promote wide-scale adoption of IPTV services.
