Pay-TV Market Trends and Opportunities in Africa & Middle East-2019
Summary
Although Africa and the Middle East (AME) accounted for the lowest regional pay-TV penetration in 2018, it will have the fastest household penetration growth rate in the next five years compared to other global regions. This will be supported by governmental national broadband plans and investments. Pirated channels viewed through illegal set-top boxes and IPTV decoders which air premium content illegally remains a challenge to pay-TV operators. However, new technological developments and partnerships with government authorities have helped mitigate this threat.

Scope

- The OTT video market in AME is growing as a number of new OTT players have entered the AME market. In order to compete against this threat, several pay-TV players have opted to create their own OTT video apps or partner with already-established OTT players.
- Rising competition and new regulations, particularly in countries with higher subscription broadcast penetration is causing operators to shrink margins on their services, thus driving ARPS down in the region.
- Pirated channels which air premium content illegally remains a challenge to pay-TV operators. However, new technological developments and partnerships with government authorities have helped mitigate this threat.
