With 378 million TV households and 152 million cable TV, China is the world's largest television and cable market. Cable dominates the multi-channel industry as satellite reception is banned and IPTV is in its infancy. China's pay TV market is enjoying a period of strong growth and despite regulatory hurdles still offers significant investment opportunities for global technology suppliers. In particular, the Beijing Olympics is driving domestic digital cable roll-out and system upgrades.

Without the competition from satellite that exists elsewhere, cable has built a strong position in China and now has 142m subscribers, of which 26m are digital households. Despite the size of the overall cable market in China, the cable industry is highly fragmented. In 2001, large networks with 200,000 or more households accounted for less than 10 per cent of Chinese cable networks. Today, more than 50 per cent of networks have fewer than 20,000 households.
