BUENOS AIRES: The Colombian pay-TV market is expected to reach 5.3 million households by 2018, a 3.4-percent increase from end of 2015, according to a new Dataxis report.<\/p>\n
In its Pay TV Series 2015: Colombia<\/em> study, Dataxis forecast that total pay-TV revenues will reach $884 million by 2018, with total ARPU being $13.89. Although Colombia is the country with the fourth largest pay-TV subscriber base in Latin America, legal pay-TV household penetration will remain relatively low at 40.9 percent by end of this year. Dataxis notes that the proportion of households with legal pay-TV services will decrease to 39.3 percent by 2018.<\/p>\n In turn, Dataxis forecast that CATV will remain the leading delivery network by 2018, although its market share will diminish over the years, in part due to a challenging economic environment and increased competition. Homes with CATV pay-TV services will account for 64.8 percent of total Colombian pay-TV households in 2015.<\/p>\n The study found that by 2018, DTH services will generate 50.9 percent of total revenues, CATV operations will represent 43.7 percent and IPTV the remaining 5.4 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BUENOS AIRES: The Colombian pay-TV market is expected to reach 5.3 million households by 2018, a 3.4-percent increase from end of 2015, according to a new Dataxis report.
