Global Pay TV Operator Forecasts Report 2021: Top 500+ Pay-TV Operators will Reach 853 Million Subscribers from the 1.02 Billion Global Total by 2026

Dublin, June 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Pay TV Operator Forecasts" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The top 503 pay-TV operators will reach 853 million subscribers from the 1.02 billion global total by 2026. The top 50 operators accounted for 64% of the world's pay-TV subscribers by the end-2020, with this proportion dropping to 62% by 2026.

The top 50 will lose 20 million subscribers over the next five years. However, operators beyond the top 100 will gain subscribers over the same period.

Most industries consolidate as they mature. The pay-TV sector is doing the opposite - fragmenting. Most of the subscriber growth will take place in developing countries where operators are not controlled by larger corporations.

By the end-2020, 13 operators had more than 10 million pay-TV subscribers. China and India will continue to dominate the top pay-TV operator rankings, partly as their subscriber bases climb but also due to the US operators losing subscribers.

Between 2020 and 2026, 307 of the 503 operators (61%) will gain subscribers, with 13 showing no change and 183 losing subscribers (36%).

In 2020, 28 pay-TV operators earned more than $1 billion in revenues, but this will drop to 24 operators by 2026.
