Key Market Trends

Television Type to Hold Highest Market Share

  • Broadcast TV antenna offers a wide range of benefits over pay-TV services, some of which are low cost, uncompressed HD signals, uninterrupted services, and a wide range of local channels. These are the key factor expected to drive the growth of the global broadcast antenna market during the forecast period. Moreover, increased picture quality like HD, 2K, 4K, and sports events in 4k are fuelling the growth of broadcast antenna.
