Global Fixed Line Communications Equipment Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global fixed line communications equipment market

The trend for digitalization resulted in the emergence and shift toward the purchase of set-top box STBs from cable televisions (CATV). This in turn, allows customers to enjoy a wider range of services at a relatively lower cost and enable providers to offer a better quality of services. The demand for high-definition set-top boxes (HD STB) that gives HD video and audio services is also increasing due to the rising disposable income and growing penetration of internet. Technavio's market research report identifies that the increasing digitalization of TV and adoption of high-definition set-top box will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global fixed line communications equipment market till 2021. The adoption of fixed line communications equipment will further increase with the rising need for the replacement of old STBs by the HD. The manufacturers will continue to employ fixed line communications equipment because HD STBs require a stronger network infrastructure. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this global market will post a revenue of more than USD 80 billion by 2021.
