DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Africa Pay TV Forecasts" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Published in January 2020, this research comes in three parts:

  • Outlook: Forecasts for 35 countries in a 76-page PowerPoint document full of charts, graphs and bullet points;
  • Excel workbook covering each year from 2010 to 2025 for 35 countries by household penetration, by pay TV subscribers, by pay TV revenues and by major operator. As well as summary tables by country and by platform;
  • Insight: Detailed country-by-country analysis in an 88-page PDF document.

Africa will have 47.26 million pay TV subscribers by 2025, up from 30.70 million at end-2019. Nigeria will contribute 10 million subscribers by 2025 - having overtaken South Africa in 2020.

African subscriber numbers will climb by 54% between 2019 and 2025, but pay TV revenues will rise by only 31% - indicating that subscribers will pay less. Pay TV revenues will reach $7.20 billion by 2025, up by $1.72 billion on 2019.

Three groups accounted for 93% of Sub-Saharan Africa's pay TV subscribers in 2019 - although this proportion will fall to 88% by 2025. Each of the three main groups provides a satellite TV platform and a pay DTT platform.

Multichoice had 14.56 million subs across satellite TV platform DStv and DTT platform GOtv by end-2019. This total will grow to 18.05 million by 2025, with a marked slowdown in satellite TV growth.
