While multichannel market share will decline, digital video will generate revenue growth.
Monterey, Calif. (Vocus/PRWeb) October 24, 2007 -- In the just-released Cable Futurecast: A 10-year Detailed Outlook For Cable TV Industry Revenue Streams, SNL Kagan projects that overall residential cable revenue will top $121 billion by 2017, a 77% increase from 2006 levels of $68.6 billion.
SNL Kagan's research indicates that residential revenue per subscriber will increase to an average of $143 per month by 2017, a 64% jump from 2006 levels. The addition of commercial services and other incremental revenue are expected to push the total revenue mark to $109 million annually by 2011 and $138 million by 2017. That's up from $72 million in 2006. The revenue gains are expected despite anticipated declines in cable's domestic video market share in the increasingly competitive multichannel space.
"The cable industry's growth prospects are going to depend on selling more services to existing customers rather than on significantly adding to basic subscriptions," said senior analyst Ian Olgeirson.
Advanced services on the digital video and IP platforms are expected to fuel growth. Digital video subscriptions are expected to jump to 56 million by 2011. The rise of digital penetrations above 80% of basic subscribers will open the door for additional video-on-demand, DVR, HD and other interactive services.
