Scope

• Pay-TV operators had 6.1 million subscribers in 2024. Total pay-TV subscriptions will decline by approximately 739,000 over the forecast period, reaching 5.4 million in 2029. DTH will remain the leading pay-TV platform in Malaysia over the 2024-2029 forecast period, despite its subscriptions declining from 5.3 million in 2024 to 4.7 million in 2029.
• Malaysia had an estimated 2.8 million subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) accounts at the end of 2024, an increase of 477,000 or 20.7% from 2023. Malaysia’s SVOD accounts are expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.8% over the forecast period, reaching 5.3 million in 2029, driven by the increasing consumer preference towards SVOD platforms as broadband services continue to improve in the country.
• Total mobile subscriptions in Malaysia reached an estimated 50.7 million at the end of 2024. Over the forecast period, mobile operators will add a combined 5.2 million mobile subscribers at a CAGR of 2.0%, bringing the country’s total mobile subscriptions to 55.9 million in 2029. The growth is driven by continued rise in smartphone and M2M/IoT subscriptions, multi-SIM ownership among users, and expanding 5G network coverage.
• Total fixed broadband lines will increase from 5.1 million in 2024 to 6.7 million by the end of 2029, driven by the increase in adoption of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fixed wireless subscriptions on the back of the government’s initiatives to increase the broadband network coverage and drive adoption of broadband services in the country.
