growing markets for the television industry. It is predicted
that by 2015, growth will have increased in the region
more than 25 percent.
The rise in the number of televisions and the growth of
the TV industry in Colombia is due to several factors.
The government has adopted the widely used ISDB-T
standard, which has made digital broadcasting more
available in the market. The increase in the amount of
televisions per household also supports this growth.
Finally, with the advent of new technology, flat-screen
televisions are both in demand and increasingly easy to
access.
3. Several types of TVs are sought after in the Latin
American market including LCDs, OLEDs and iDTVS.
Both OLEDs and iDTVS are predicted to increase in
growth, while LCDs are becoming less common.
