Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "IPTV Global Forecast 2010 to 2014 - Semiannual IPTV Global Forecast Report - Edition 2" report to their offering.

The December 2010 IPTV Global Forecast 2010 to 2014 is the latest revision of the earlier edition published by MRG, Inc. in June 2010. It incorporates the most recent information on current IPTV deployments around the world, as well a forecast for IPTV subscribers, service revenue, and system revenue from 2010 to 2014.

In total, this report breaks down the IPTV ecosystem into nine industry segments: DSL Subscribers, IPTV Subscribers, Access Systems, Video Headend Encoders, Video-on-Demand Server Software, Set-top Boxes, Middleware, Content Protection/Digital Rights Management (CP/DRM), and System Integration and Professional Services. In addition, this report splits the market into four regions around the world: Europe, Asia, North America and Rest of World, and also provides a global market summary. To do this, the report identifies over 875 Service Providers worldwide offering IPTV services. The number of companies has increased since the last report, since more Service Providers have launched services in the last 6 months or announced new trials. This data is frequently refreshed to ensure that duplicates are removed and that the most up-to-date numbers are used.

The new forecast indicates that the number of global IPTV subscribers will grow from 44 million at the end of 2010 to 111.5 million in 2014, a compound annual growth rate of 26%.

As for service revenue as shown in Figure 1-2, the global IPTV market is US$17.8 billion in 2010 and is forecasted to grow to US$47.9 billion in 2014, a compound annual growth rate of 28%. By 2014, Europe and North America will generate a larger share of the global revenue, due to very low ARPUs in China and India, the fastest growing (and ultimately, the biggest markets) in Asia.
