Abstract
Executive Summary
This new MLR edition tracks the top 120 IPTV Vendors in 24 sub-sectors that
are leading the IPTV market globally and in four geographical regions based on
the deployments in 913 IPTV Service Providers (SPs) worldwide. The report
ranks and evaluates the position of Vendors that provide IPTV Access Systems,
Video Headend (Encoder) Systems (VHEs), Video-on-Demand Server Software (VOD),
Set-top Boxes (STBs), Middleware (MW), and Content Protection/Digital Rights
Management (CP/DRM).
Vendors Ranked Global Number 1 (Q1/11)
Larger IPTV Vendors are building a full IPTV ecosystem so they can continue to
work with large Telcos around the world. For example, Motorola recently
acquired a CP/DRM (Content Protection) Vendor (SecureMedia), a VOD Vendor
(BitBand), and MW Vendor (Dreampark) and now appears in all six IPTV product
segments. Pace recently acquired Latens and is now participating in the
Middleware and CP/DRM segment.
While this trend continues for larger Vendors, some smaller Vendors continue
to serve small IPTV Operators, often in their own region of the world. In the
Set-top Box and Middleware segments, for example, some small Vendors serve
just a few regions, and sometimes just a specific country. Other small
Vendors, such as Verimatrix, have successfully built partnerships in all
regions with larger Vendors, helping to maintain their global category
leadership.
Rank Changes Charted (Sector & Region)
XYZ Company' s Market Position (Sample)
Using the newly unveiled RankTracker™ system, this report includes added
Vendor-ranking profiles for all Vendors ranked within the top 10 in all
regional sectors (compared to the top 5 in the past). Also, up/down arrows are
added alongside the Vendor rankings, making it easier to understand how each
Vendor is faring compared with the last MLR (see sample above).
Growth Prospects Also Charted
XYZ Company' s Significant Service Provider Deploymens (Sample)
In addition, this report tracks the growth prospects for each Vendor company
(see sample above). This is accomplished by tracking how many large IPTV
service deployments the Vendor is part of. A Service Provider is identified as
a significant deployment if it is currently among the top 25 IPTV Operators in
terms of total IPTV subscribers. A list of the top 25 IPTV Operators can be
found in Table 1-3 of the report. For every Vendor, tables are included that
count the Vendor' s significant IPTV deployments, both globally and within each
geographic region.
New Feature: Leaders by Customer Tiers for Set-top Boxes and Middleware
Tier Levels Defined by Number of Subscribers per Service Provider
Another new feature of RankTracker™ is a breakdown of Set-top Box and
Middleware Vendors by the number of customers and subscribers in a specific
subscriber tier, which can be found in Chapter 8: Rankings by Customer Tiers
for Set-top Boxes and Middleware. This new feature involves breaking down
Service Providers into five “Tier” levels, based on the number of
subscribers each Service Provider has. For example, Tier-1 Service Providers
are those with over 1 million subscribers, while Tier-5 are those with under
50,000 subscribers. By breaking down rankings in this manner, it is easier to
see which Vendors are working with large, medium or smaller Service Providers.
This gives a different view of how Vendors are working with Service Providers,
and can shed light on which of them work with the smallest Providers, for
example.
Methodology
This MLR report is part of the IPTV Tracking Service offered by the Multimedia
Research Group, Inc. At the core of the data for both of these breakdowns is
the number of IPTV subscribers for each Service Provider. A combination of
primary and secondary research methods are used to gather data for this
report, including official company press releases and briefings with IPTV
Operators and Vendors. In-depth primary research is conducted by surveying
IPTV Vendors and verifying their customers and deployments around the world.
Additionally, subscriber counts are verified by triangulating data from
multiple Vendors, using a top-down and bottom-up approach. Although many IPTV
Vendors are verified on any given IPTV deployment, there are still some IPTV
Vendors that have not been identified. Once data about each Service Provider' s
subscriber numbers is gathered and verified, it is allocated to its Vendors in
each product segment. The data gathered is then separated into rankings for
five of the IPTV product segments, within the four geographic regions and
globally.
The one exception is the Video Headend (encoder) segment, where market
positions are based on the reported number of IPTV (Broadcast) channels
provided (rather than subscribers) using each Vendor' s products.
The rankings in this IPTV Market Leaders Report (MLR) are based on a database
of IPTV Service Providers that has been gathered over the past 9 years since
2002. As shown in the table below, there are 913 total IPTV Service Providers
in this database with 466 of them (51%) in North America. This is up from 875
total IPTV Service Providers since the Fall/Winter 2010 IPTV Market Leader
Report in December 2010.
Count of Service Providers Used for this Report
The IPTV Market Leaders Report is a must-have for IPTV Vendors and Service Providers needing updated navigation and market positioning tools for challenging economic times.
