Video Encoder Market to Double by 2020

According to Frost & Sullivan, the pay TV video encoder market (including cable, IPTV and satellite) earned revenues of $435.1 million in 2013, and the research house and estimates the total will double to $895.2 million by 2020.

However, Frost & Sullivan says, escalating consumer awareness and usage of OTT video services challenges the linear pay TV business model, thereby limiting the sales volumes of encoders. In addition, the shift toward software-based architectures and multiscreen viewing options is also adversely affecting market development.
