If the US remains the biggest TV market in terms of revenues -both advertising and subscriptions, – the country has been facing an accelerating decrease over the last five years on its legacy activities. Direct-to-home satellite (DTH), cable TV and IPTV have been losing a growing number of subscribers, fueling the cord-cutting trend in a country where SVOD households are now more numerous than traditional pay TV households. Despite the economic turmoil, the cord-cutting trend and the rise of multiple direct-to-consumer (D2C) offers coming from pure-players, broadcasters, tech and media giants, the pay TV market remains heavily competitive and diversified, with more than 150 pay TV operators, most of them working on a local level. AT&T, Verizon, Dish, Comcast, Charter remain the biggest actors, even if they lose an increasing number of subscribers every quarter. In the end, OTT pay TV subscriptions are expected to nearly double in the next five years, while cable TV, DTH and IPTV subscriptions should shrink at a faster and faster pace.
This report provides comprehensive data sets related to the market structure, evolution of subscribers and revenues, leading companies and trends observed in the country.
