What They Say
Technicolor said that it has supplied 10 million STBs based on Android from 2016 to today. It expects the market to continue to grow at a CAGR of 24.8% until 2026, with strong sales in Asia and EMEA.
What We Think
I would normally have caught up with STB makers at IBC last September, but, of course, didn’t! In the past, Android was appealling because of the relative ease of finding apps and content for the platform, although there were often concerns about security and support. The user interface can be better than Linux and it can be preferred by developers. Obviously, having a substantial firm like Technicolor behind the technology makes it more appealing. (BR)

In checking out this story, I came across this chart of 4K STBs. I don’t know the quality of the researcher, but it might be useful!
