North American pay-TV revenues set to tumble

In the latest edition of its Digital TV North America report, the analyst believes that the US pay-TV market will fall in value by nearly 12% from 2014, and predicts the market will be worth $90.71 billion in 2020. By contrast, the market’s 2013 value was $102.86 billion.

The total number of traditional pay-TV subs is projected remain flat at 110 million by 2020, but with penetration dropping from 86.7% in 2010 to 82.6% by 2020 as the number of TV households climbs. The number of homes not paying for TV services will likely increase from 18.9 million in 2010 to 26.3 million in 2020.
