market with strong growth potential. It is a part of Netscribes’ Media and Entertainment Series.
Mumbai, India – April 27, 2012 – As India looks towards incorporating digitization framework in the
broadcasting sector, conversion of analogue to digital spells evolution of a new trend in the Indian market.
Though there has been some penetration of digital broadcasting media in India in the likes of DTH and
digital cable, yet it was predominantly nominal. However, this is going to undergo some kind of a volte-
face as the Indian sector is bracing itself for a conversion to digital from analogue transmission. Transition
of the mass market from analogue to digital forms a major challenge to the players as the Government
mandates to digitize the entire cable network by the end of 2014. Newer modes of content delivery such as
IPTV and mobile TV look at increasing their foothold as the sector holds itself up for rapid growth in this
domain.
The report begins with an introduction section which throws some light on the segmentation of the digital
broadcasting sector defining the key media vehicle that uses this technology in India. It is followed by
global digital broadcasting sector along with its market size and growth. A brief take on the Indian digital
sector follows next along with its market size and growth. The value chain analysis tells about the chief
components that constitute the chain of transmission from the broadcaster to the end consumer. It then
proceeds to a brief description of the revenue model that is prevalent in the sector. Though the primary
modes of garnering revenue include revenues from subscription, lease rentals of logistical supports like set
top boxes different media like IPTV or even digital radio might be having customized channels beyond the
regular. This section gets concluded with a Porter’s Five Forces analysis for the market.
The report then narrows down to illustrate the different segments of media that requires digital
broadcasting technology for its transmission. The report speaks about five distinct components that use
digital content and are namely Digital Cable TV, DTH, IPTV, Mobile TV and Digital Radio. Each of the
individual segments is dealt individually detailing its description as well as market size and growth.
Individual segments are provided with the system framework of their transmission from the content
provider to that of the end consumer. This section ends with a brief take on the broadcasting spectrum that
is used in the sector.
A brief description of the drivers that helps the sector to prosper include emerging middle class and rising
disposable income, increase in television and radio penetration, complete digitization of TV services and
increase in sale of LCD and LED TVs. Though entertainment has become a quintessential input in our
daily diet and TV penetration has increased manifold, products like digital TV or subscriptions like DTH
have witnessed a separate class of consumers. However, this class of consumers is slowly being intruded
by the masses and it happens only because of the increased disposable income at the hands of people.
Today as middle class emerges as a strong section of consumers and holds enough power for spending,
utilities like digital broadcasting is only poised for more growth. Further, TV and radio penetration in India
has witnessed a stupendous growth over the last 5 years across the country. As Digitization mandate by the
Government spells conversion of analogue to digital delivery, TV numbers in Indian households pose as
dramatic growth opportunity for the entire sector. The Indian Government’s ‘Cable TV Network
Amendment Bill 2011’ aiming at complete digitization of the Indian TV network acts as a strict regulation
that would help in shaping the mould towards digital broadcasting”. Another factor that has surfaced as a
growth driver is the increasing sale of LCD and LED TVs which is highly compatible with digital
2. broadcasting and therefore courses a transformation of the consumers towards digital broadcasting.
Whereas, factors identified as a hindrance to the market are high costs involved in digital conversion and
shortage of set top boxes.

regulation within the sector, FDI ceiling prevalent in the sector and Cable TV Network Amendment Bill
2011.
