Americas Set Top Box Market Size and Forecasts (2020 - 2030), Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Product (Cable, Satellite and Internet-Based, and DTT) and Content Quality [IPTV and Standard Definition (SD)] Publication Month : Sep 2023 Analyst Perspective: Interactive features such as video-on-demand and electronic program guides are increasingly being incorporated in satellite STB units. In addition to basic features, the set-top box units provide a range of interactive and multimedia facilities directly via a consumer television device, such as internet browsing, email, and instant messaging. The DVR feature is also included in cable and satellite set-top boxes, enabling viewers to enjoy the content at their convenience. Using MPEG-4.10 (H.264) and SMPTE 421 M (VC-1) allows access to more media content and decreases the risk of early product obsolescence. Thus, technological advancements are contributing to the Americas set top box market growth. Market Overview: A set-top box (STB), also referred to colloquially as a cable box, is an information system that typically includes a TV tuner input and shows the output of a TV set and an external signal source, converting the source signal into material in a format that can then be shown on a TV screen or other display device. The key factor driving the Americas set top box market growth is the rising technological transformations in set-top box (STB). Technological developments have led to a wide range of STBs equipped with various features. This, in turn, has made the competition fierce between the set-top box companies. Digital video recording is one of the most anticipated functions since it enables viewers to view and archive their favorite shows. An over-the-air DVR system is a standalone set-top box that enables viewers to transmit and record TV programs. In addition to DVRs, subscription-based TV service providers offer STBs to customers. In addition, DISH, a US-based television provider, has incorporated artificial intelligence in its new set-top boxes to allow recording facilities at STBs. With the support of technology such as natural language processing (NLP), companies implement features such as voice command to enable channels and TV shows to be searched using technologically advanced Americas set top box market.

Technological Advancements in Americas Set Top Box Market Technological advancements have led to the introduction of various features in set-top boxes, such as fast processors, increased storage capacity, improved interface, voice control and support, and Internet of Things (IoT) integration. The technological development in the Americas set top box market prompted the market players to compete at distinct scales. Digital video recording is the most desired functionality of set-top boxes, allowing audiences to record their favorite shows and watch them later at their convenience. A standalone set-top box that allows viewers to transmit and record TV programs is an over-the-air digital video recorder (DVR) system. Apart from DVRs, subscription-based TV service providers also sell STBs to consumers. For instance, in 2021, Apple Inc launched Apple TV set-top box with an integrated homepod speaker and video conferencing camera through a connected TV and smart home functions. Companies are integrating features such as voice command with the help of technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) to simplify searching channels and shows. For instance, in 2019, ZTE Corporation launched a far-field 4K AI STB S200 set-top box (STB) that can work with voice commands. STB S200 features noise reduction and a built-in far-field voice search engine, along with the integration of IPTV/OTT services, smart speakers, and Google ecosystem support. Segmental Analysis: Based on product type, the Americas set top box market size is segmented into cable, satellite & internet-based, and DTT. The satellite & internet-based segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. Cable TV requires a cable box with a subscription. In today’s digital service, the cable box decodes MPEG video frames, decrypts the premium channels, and stores and displays the program guides. Digital cable boxes also provide upstream communications for video-on-demand. They often have a built-in DVR for content recording on a hard drive. Many cable TV companies offer users internet service, but their set-top boxes are only for TV. The cable is split into two lines, one to the cable modem for internet access and the other to the Americas set top box market growth.

The rising number of television subscribers across the US is driving the demand for entertainment streaming devices across the country. Moreover, the demand for IPTV services is growing. The US reports the trend of cord-cutting and customer shift toward OTT media streaming platforms, thus, prompting operators to invest in the next-generation set-top boxes to sustain competency.
