Between 2019 and 2025, African subscriber numbers are expected to rise by 54 percent, though pay-TV revenues will rise by only 31 percent, an indication that subscribers will pay less. Pay-TV revenues are slated to reach $7.20 billion by 2025, up by $1.72 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Three groups accounted for 93 percent of sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s pay-TV subscribers in 2019, all of which provide a satellite-TV platform and a pay DTT platform. Multichoice had 14.56 million subs across satellite TV platform DStv and DTT platform GOtv by end-2019, a total set to grow to 18.05 million by 2025. France\u2019s Vivendi had 4.73 million subs to its Canal Plus satellite-TV platform and Easy TV DTT platforms and will climb to 7.35 million over the same period. StarTimes\/StarSat is anticipated to see growth from 9.10 million subs to 16.39 million.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Murray, principal analyst at Digital TV Research, said: \u201cDespite the strong subscriber growth, competition is intense.
