Market growth can be attributed to the increasing preference of consumers for smart TVs and High Definition (HD) channels worldwide.

For instance, in 2022, the National Radio and Television Administration of China issued a document with the objective of accelerating the development of HD and Ultra-high Definition (UHD) broadcasting capabilities in provincial TV stations by the end of 2023.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for set top boxes in the market. This can be attributed to the efforts made by industry players to enhance the television viewing experience by incorporating features such as digital video recording, improved picture and sound quality, and increased storage options. As a result, cable service providers, telecommunication companies, and digital satellite providers have actively promoted the use of set top boxes, leading to a surge in installations across various households.

Market experienced a significant impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has shown signs of recovery and gradual growth. This can be attributed to the increasing viewership of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and the growing preference for engaging media content. The market has benefited from the rising adoption of Android and hybrid set top boxes, which align with the popularity of OTT platforms. In emerging markets, OTT set top boxes have gained significant traction, especially due to the availability of abundant free video content. Additionally, major OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon have contributed to the demand for set top boxes by offering high-quality 4K content.

Technological advancements and new product launches by market players are driving the growth of the market. In collaboration with Amlogic, ZTE Corporation, introduced the ZTE 8K set-top box in 2022. This cutting-edge set top box offers an immersive 4K user interface and superior ultra-HD video quality, delivering an exceptional audiovisual experience to users.
