Global Cable Modem Termination System (CTMS) and Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Converged Cable Access Platform and Cable Modem Termination System), By DOCSIS Standard, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024 - 2031
The Global Cable Modem Termination System (CTMS) and Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) Market size is expected to reach $12.3 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period.
The increasing penetration of the internet and the rising demand for high-speed broadband services are driving the adoption of CTMS and CCAP solutions in the Asia Pacific region. Therefore, the Asia Pacific region will generate 29.1% revenue share in 2031. CTMS and CCAP solutions provide cable operators in the Asia Pacific region with the scalability and flexibility to expand their network capacity and improve network efficiency to meet the growing demand for broadband services.
Cable operators are transitioning from traditional QAM-based to IP-based video delivery to support advanced video services such as IP video and IPTV. Increasing consumer demand for on-demand video services such as video-on-demand (VOD), time-shifted TV, and interactive TV applications is driving the need for CMTS and CCAP systems that support these advanced video services. Therefore, the market is expanding significantly due to the support for advanced video services. Additionally, Gigabit internet services offer ultra-fast internet speeds, meeting the increasing demand for high-speed internet access driven by bandwidth-intensive applications. Gigabit internet services enable cable operators to meet subscriber expectations for ultra-fast internet access, providing a superior and competitive service offering. Thus, because of the expansion of gigabit internet services, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.
However, the significant upfront investment required for CTMS and CCAP solutions can act as a barrier to entry for smaller cable operators and new market entrants, limiting competition and innovation in the market. The high initial investment required for CTMS and CCAP solutions can widen the digital divide, with underserved areas and communities left behind due to a lack of investment in broadband infrastructure. Thus, high initial investment can slow down the growth of the market.
Type Outlook
By type, the market is categorized into cable modem termination system and converged cable access platform. The cable modem termination system segment covered a 25% revenue share in the market in 2023. CMTS systems support transitioning from traditional QAM-based to IP-based video delivery, enabling cable operators to offer advanced video services. Advanced CMTS solutions enable cable operators to deliver superior customer experience through personalized services, proactive network monitoring, and efficient technical support.
DOCSIS Standard Outlook
Based on DOCSIS standard, the market is classified into DOCSIS 3.0 & below and DOCSIS 3.1. The DOCSIS 3.0 & below segment garnered 31.1% revenue share in the market in 2023. CTMS and CCAP solutions that support DOCSIS 3.0 and below system standards enable cable operators to continue supporting legacy networks and older customer premises equipment (CPE).
