Description
The speeding-up of China’s cable TV digitization process, which is ensured by strong policy requirements, is consequently pushing an increase in the size of the digital cable set top box market in China. Unit shipments of digital cable set-top boxes are projected to grow from 3 million in 2005 to 12 million in 2010.

The key driver behind the increase will come from basic set-top boxes. By contrast, a steady growth in advanced-box shipments will appear during the forecast period, due to under-developed value-added services and unready infrastructures.

This report covers the China market for cable TV set top boxes, with insightful analysis on China’s cable TV digitization process. It also provides average selling price, unit shipment, and revenue forecasts of digital cable set top boxes in China for 2006-2010. Key domestic set top box vendors are profiled in the report as well.
