Pay TV Providers in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Pay TV Providers in the UK

Over the five years through 2023-24, revenue will contract at a compound annual rate of 2% to £6.7 billion. The industry is highly concentrated, with only four companies operating in the UK, representative of the high barriers of entry and significant size of the four pay TV providers. The industry has been negatively affected by the increasing trend for non-linear viewing through free catch-up facilities from many public service broadcasters and the rising number of subscription video on demand (SVOD) subscriptions, which have replaced traditional media channels.

Companies in this industry distribute TV programmes and movies on a subscription or fee basis through a cable-, satellite- or internet-connected set-top box. The assembly and distribution of packages without programming, such as subscription video on demand, does not fall under this industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
