Ranking

This IPTV Market Leaders Report identifies which IPTV systems and software companies are leading each of the six IPTV market segments: Access, Video Headend, Video-on-Demand, Middleware, Set-top Box, and Content Protection/Digital Rights Management. We have identified and are tracking over 80 companies for this report. This report includes a breakdown of the four regional markets, Asia, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World (ROW) regions, as well as global leaders. Market position is measured using estimates and actual numbers of active IPTV subscribers that are using (or being supported by) each company’s products for all segments except Video Headends. For the Video Headend category, we measure market position using the reported number of IPTV channels provided using each company’s products. Since a Video Headend may support two thousand or two million subscribers, the number of channels is a much better measure of a company’s market position.

The total subscriber count also includes a small number of subscribers served by systems we have verified, but where the suppliers have not been identified. Using these totals for each regional segment, therefore, the top 5-10 companies are ranked. Subscriber counts are verified by triangulating reports from multiple vendors, public announcements and direct contact with IPTV Operators.

Overall, these methodologies give a good measure of each company’s relative position and ranking, as well as their future growth prospects.

Growth Prospects

The future growth prospects for each company is rated based on the number of large IPTV service deployments the company is participating in. We include tables that count each vendor’s significant deployments both globally and within each region. A significant deployment is one that has been announced and is expected to be one of the world’s top 25 systems by number of IPTV subscribers in 2011.

This report is part of the IPTV Tracking Service offered by the Multimedia Research Group, Inc.
