Set-Top Box Shipments Rise in 2009 Despite Economic Downturn
Defying the current economic turmoil, global Set-Top Box (STB) shipments are expected to rise in 2009 due to rising demand from Asia and from products supporting High Definition (HD), Digital Video Recording and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), according to iSuppli Corp.
Worldwide STB shipments are set to grow to 136.7 million units in 2009, up 4.2 percent from 131.2 million in 2008. Shipments will rise to nearly 200 million systems by 2013, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9 percent during the forecast period. STB sales have continued to expand during the worse phase of the current downturn.
“In the fourth quarter, when the wheels were literally coming off of the world’s economies, the leading STB makers were reporting surging sales,” said Jordan Selburn, principal analyst for semiconductor design and STBs at iSuppli.
“This phenomenon carried over into 2009 and beyond with first-quarter shipments of STBs. And while they were down from the fourth-quarter holiday season, they were still ahead of the first quarter from 2008—an unusual event for any product in today’s depressed electronics market.”
Athough terrestrial and satellite STB shipments were essentially flat during this time period, cable boxes have showed very strong growth, driven in particular by increasing rollouts in China and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) STBs are continuing to proliferate as well, shipping over 50 percent more systems in 2008 than during the previous year. The growth of IPTV STBs nearly matched that of cable in terms of the number of systems shipped in 2008.
Must-See STBs
“Premium boxes—like DVR-enabled STBs and HD products—will grow at a substantially higher rate than the 4.2 percent level for the overall STB market in 2009, Selburn said. “These STBs will buoy the entire market as non-DRV and standard-definition from this point forward.”
Shipments of premium boxes in 2008 almost doubled to 22.4 million systems. This growth will continue to be substantial in 2009, with a 28 percent rise.
“This is a strong growth number for any era, but considering the state of the economy and business environments, it is even more impressive,” Selburn said.
Among premium boxes, HD STBs are on their way to becoming the new standard in the home. Shipments of these boxes are set to grow at a 22.8 percent CAGR between 2008 and 2013, and by the end of the forecast period will take the lead in market share. This is being helped by a number of factors, including HD display sales, increasing access to broadband technology and improving HD content from service providers.
DVR-enabled boxes are growing at a rapid rate as well and will maintain a CAGR of 18 percent through 2013. The plummeting cost of hardware—especially Hard Disk Drives (HDDs)—is making the DVR HDD a more affordable purchase for consumers. However, rising sales of whole-home DVRs used as in-home media servers will continue to push sales of non-DVR boxes that act as clients to a central STB containing a hard drive.

"Set-Top Box Shipments To Rise 4% In 2009
By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News, 8/25/2009 7:24:38 AM EDT
Despite the bearish economy, global set-top shipments are set to grow 4.2% this year to 136.7 million units on healthy demand for HD and digital video recording features, according to research firm iSuppli.
The set-top market will continue to experience solid growth over the next few years, with iSuppli forecasting shipments rising to 201 million by 2013, a compound annual growth rate of 9% over the forecast period.
Cable set-top boxes in particular have shown very strong growth, driven by rollouts in China and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region, iSuppli said. IPTV set-tops continue to ramp up, with units shipped 50% higher in 2008 than the year prior, according to the research firm.
"In the fourth quarter [of 2008], when the wheels were literally coming off of the world's economies, the leading [set-top box] makers were reporting surging sales," iSuppli principal analyst Jordan Selburn said.
Premium set-tops, including DVR-enabled and HD products, are expected to grow 28% in 2009, a substantially higher rate than the overall category, Selburn added. Shipments of premium boxes almost doubled in 2008, to 22.4 million systems.
According to iSuppli, DVRs are becoming more affordable thanks to plummeting costs of hard disk drives and other hardware components. At the same time, an expected increase in sales of whole-home DVRs will continue to push sales of non-DVR boxes that act as clients to a primary set-top with a hard drive."
