• Pay-TV household penetration will decline from 34.3% in 2022 to 29.8% in 2027, due to the decline in IPTV subscriptions as a result of customers shift to subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services.
• 5G subscriptions will grow from 23.2% in 2022 to 76.4% in 2027, supported by ongoing 5G network expansions by mobile network operators (MNOs) on the back of rising demand for high-speed data services.
