African Pay TV to See an Addition of 18 Million Subscribers Between 2021-27: Digital TV Research

Author: Editorial Team

Digital TV Research has published its Africa’s Pay TV Forecasts. According to it, Africa will add 18 million pay-TV subscribers between 2021 and 2027 to take the total to 57 million.

Subscriber numbers will climb by 46% over this period, but pay-TV revenues will rise by only 35% – indicating that subscribers will pay less. Pay-TV revenues will reach $6.46 billion by 2027, up from $4.78 billion on 2021.

Three groups account for 90% of Africa’s pay-TV subscribers. Multichoice, through its DStv and GOtv platforms, will continue to lead – with 20.8 million subscribers expected by 2027. StarTimes (18.4 million) and Canal Plus (11.2 million) will follow.

“Few new players are expected. Instead, the three protagonists will battle for supremacy – often by cutting prices.”

Simon Murray, Principal Analyst, Digital TV Research
