Colmbian Pay-TV Enjoys Small Rise

According to Dataxis, the pay-TV market in Colombia will reach 5.8 million households by 2018: a 3.4% rise from end-2015. Households with CATV services will have a 64.8% share of the country’s pay-TV market. Meanwhile, DTH networks will raise their share from 30% in 2015 to 34.9% in 2018. IPTV will grow from a 5.2% share to 7.4%. Despite the relatively high penetration, much of Colombia’s pay-TV reception is illegal: only about 40.9% will be received legally this year, and this is expected to fall to 39.3% by 2018.
