What are the different types of TV and telecom services in the Australian television & telecom services market?
TV services, SVOD services, mobile services, and fixed-broadband services, are the different types of TV & telecom services in the Australian television & telecom services market.
TV services market in Australia
The television household penetration rate in Australia is high, with more than 90% of Australian homes owning at least one television set. Pay-TV household penetration will decrease by 2025 due to subscription loss in the DTH segment. Furthermore, the growing popularity of OTT video alternatives such as Netflix has been hampering the growth of the pay-TV service market in Australia.
IPTV was the leading platform to deliver pay-TV services in Australia in 2020. It is expected that IPTV subscriptions will grow at a sluggish rate primarily due to improving fixed broadband infrastructure in the country and growing adoption of multiplay packages with integrated IPTV service.
SVOD services market in Australia
The surge in SVOD sign-ups in Australia was driven by two factors. Firstly, the COVID-19 lockdowns meant that Australians spent more time at home seeking entertainment. Secondly, the launch of the Walt Disney Company’s video streaming service Disney+ at the end of 2019 made an immediate impact on the market. SVOD subscriptions will continue to grow over the forecast period.
Mobile services market in Australia
Handset subscriptions will remain the dominant device category through 2025. However, the handset subscription share will decline by 2025 as the subscription share of the M2M/IoT services will increase. This growth will be driven by an uptake in M2M/IoT solutions such as asset management, fleet tracking, remote monitoring, telehealth, etc.
Over the forecast period, Australia’s smartphone subscription penetration of the population will fall by 2025. While smartphone subscriptions will grow due to the availability of easy, installment schemes, device bundled plans, and SIM-only plans promoted by MNOs, the subscription growth rate will be smaller compared to the population growth rate, hence the fall in penetration.
Fixed-broadband services market in Australia
Total fixed broadband lines in Australia will increase by 2025 end, supported by growth in FTTH and fixed wireless lines on the back of ongoing efforts by the Australian government in expansion of FTTX broadband networks to the underserved areas of the country.
Fiber will continue to be the leading technology to deliver fixed broadband services in Australia over 2020 2025. Its growth can be largely attributed to the government investment in upgrading and expanding Australia’s national broadband network (NBN), a wholesale-only, open-access broadband network, to new areas of the country with FTTX.
