Company India Set To Resume a Passage to TV Growth
Despite a slight decline in the rate of economic growth and a downturn in TV advertising, India remains a bouyant TV economy with Screen Digest forecasting growth in TV households (191m by 2013) and pay TV (penetration rising to 79.9%) over the next five years. Analogue cable TV is the largest distribution medium, but satellite TV, with a more upmarket subscriber base and a more stable fee structure, is expected to show the strongest growth. Hindi-language channels are the market leaders but the sector is highly competitive and more growth is likely to come from regional langauge services.
