Top LatAm pay TV operators continue to dominate

Latin American pay TV is dominated by DirecTV/Sky and Claro/America Movil, which will together account for nearly half the region’s pay TV subs by end-2016, according to a new report from Digital TV Research. This share will be maintained for the next five years. Three more pan-regional operators, Telefonica/Movistar, Tigo/Millicom and , harbor ambitions to increase their regional market shares.

With 130 platforms across 18 countries covered in the Latin America Pay TV Operator Forecasts report, 25 operators will collectively generate 88% of Latin American pay TV subscribers by end-2016 – again this share will be maintained until the end of the forecast period. The regional pay TV subscriber total will climb from 72.02 million by end-2016 to 83.56 million by 2021.

There are some sizeable domestic players beyond the pan-regional players. Argentina’s Cablevision (which also has operations in neighboring Uruguay) will climb to fourth place by 2021. Mexico’s Televisa has merged its cable operations into a single entity. The company is also the majority owner of the Sky satellite TV platform.

The 25 featured operators will continue with their 90%+ share of Latin American pay TV revenues for the next five years. DirecTV/Sky and Claro together will take 62% of the 2016 total, although this share will fall slightly by 2021. Latin American pay TV revenues will grow from $18.31 billion in 2016 to $19.82 billion by 2021.
