China, which became the largest digital TV household nation in 2010, will boast 460 million digital homes by the end of 2020, or 27 per cent of the global total, up by 225 million in 2013.

By 2020, Brazil will take fourth place and Russia fifth. Both of these countries will more than double their digital TV totals. By adding 42 million digital TV homes, Indonesia will leap to the seventh spot.

Based on forecasts for 138 countries, the number of digital TV homes will increase by more than 1 billion, between 2010 and 2020, to 1.68 billion, or up by 185 per cent, according to a new report from Digital TV Research. The Digital TV World Household Forecasts report estimates that the digital TV total will climb by 131 million in 2014 alone.

Global digital TV penetration will reach 97.9 per cent of television households by 2020, up from 40.5 per cent by 2010 and 67.7 per cent by 2014. By 2020, 94 countries will go completely digital compared to only 12 by the end of 2013. About 124 countries will have more than 90 per cent digital penetration by 2020.

Of the 762 million digital TV homes to be added between 2013 and 2020, 258 million will come from digital cable. Primary FTA DTT (homes taking DTT but not subscribing to cable, DTH or IPTV) will acquire an additional 292 million. Pay IPTV will more than double to 191 million, with pay DTH up by 79 million.

Digital cable will become the most popular TV platform in 2014, accounting for 33.6 per cent of the world’s TV households in 2020 (up from 20.9 per cent in 2013). Digital cable TV penetration will exceed 50 per cent of TV households in nine countries by 2020, with Belgium leading at 64.9 per cent.
