"New-found economic stability means the Latin American TV sector keeps going from strength to strength."
Adam Thomas, Research Manager, Informa Telecoms & Media
Summary
Covering the free and pay-TV sectors, this new research encompasses both North and South America. It analyzes the key issues emerging right now and evaluates the future direction the market is taking. It includes detailed forecasts to 2016.
Overview
Once highly susceptible to global economic turbulence, Latin American economies continue to exhibit signs of long-term strength. This improving economic stability has been gradually making the region’s TV market increasingly attractive. The lack of maturity in many countries has long offered strong prospects for pay-TV and digital growth and in 2010 this potential finally started to come to fruition, justifying the investment of those entrants that have invested – and continue to invest – in the region’s media and telecoms businesses.
Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) has been increasing, fairly slowly, in Latin America, reflecting an increase in the number of services on offer – and the subsequent tiering of channels and introduction of PPV/VOD packages. But TV ARPU is believed to be near its peak, with the impact of dual- and triple-play bundles pushing down the price of the TV component of the package. The launch of low-cost pay-TV services also puts pressure on ARPU at a regional level.
Consistent growth in digital TV is anticipated throughout the forecast period, meaning the Latin region’s digital household total is forecast to more than triple in size between end-2010 and 2016. Brazil and Mexico combine to account for more than half of digital subscribers.
