Conditional access market worth $1.3 billion: ABI

The conditional access market is set to be worth $1.4 billion annually by 2014, according to ABI Research.

The global conditional access technology market collected revenues of US$1.3 billion in 2008 and will grow to $1.4 billion by 2014, according to a new study by ABI Research.

The growth has been largely attributed to new cable deployments in emerging markets.

“The financial crisis does not appear to be affecting the conditional access and digital rights management technology market,” said Zippy Aima, analyst with ABI Research.

“The continued expansion in the appetite for digital content and the number of new distribution methods that are emerging will support steady growth in the technologies needed to protect that content.”

Growing demand to secure high-value HD content and for the secure sharing of content across multiple platforms in home networks will also support the industry.

The report found that while overall revenues will experience modest growth the share of these revenues across platforms will undergo major changes. Cable and satellite based revenue will fluctuate slightly. Telco TV will grow by 15 percent to 2014.

Conditional access market worth $1.3 billion: ABI
I had a report from very respected analysts at one of Europe's most prestigious investment banks that retrospectively and based on actual revenues, valued the global CA market at around $900m in 2001 with an estimate of $1.25B in 2003. The growth to 2003 did not occue at that rate but given the success of NDS, Nagra and the othert CA players in the last 8 years and the significant global growth of Pay-TV in that time these figures don't seem to match up to me. Perhaps this report uses a different basis for measuring what and how the CA vendors really earn.
