MUMBAI: The Indian direct -to-home (DTH) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2 per cent to get to the 100 million subscriber mark by 2018, according to Frost & Sullivan research report.

While the DTH market is on an exceptional growth trajectory, the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) market in India is still in its early days and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 79.5 per cent to touch the 6 million subscriber mark by 2018.

The growth in the IPTV market can be stupendous if the dismal infrastructure and broadband penetration is taken care of, the report added.
"Riding high on the digitization mandate, the DTH market is on an unprecedented growth trajectory, and India is set to become the largest DTH market in the world. Growing television penetration, emerging middle class and rising disposable income has resulted in increased spending and rising demand for quality viewing experience,” says a Frost & Sullivan analyst.
