The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Free-to-air (FTA) Service Market would witness market growth of 12.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Radio and television broadcasts that are not encrypted are called free-to-air services. This makes it possible for anyone with a satellite dish to access these programs without having a cable subscription. Most free-to-air (FTA) broadcasters provide access to free-to-air channel listings and content. Additionally, different locations offer different degrees of FTA service convenience in both commercial and residential sectors. There may only be a small number of FTA channels or access to terrestrial FTA services in some locations. In contrast, both terrestrial and satellite FTA services may be accessible in other places. As a result, FTA services are increasing in popularity in both residential and commercial settings to offer a free and convenient way to watch television and listen to the radio.
Additionally, the market is expanding as more people use Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and more subscribers are added. The market is growing due to the government’s increased investment in digital broadcasting and FTA services. Moreover, data piracy and a lack of content protection constrain this business’s expansion. On the other hand, introducing Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms with free streaming services would open up many chances for expanding the market.
The UAE has a regulatory authority, the National Media Council (NMC), that oversees media content, including television and radio. The NMC ensures that content aligns with cultural and ethical standards in the UAE. The market in the UAE is competitive, with local and international broadcasters vying for viewership and advertising revenue. Competition has led to content diversification to cater to different audience segments. The UAE has transitioned from analog to digital broadcasting to enhance signal quality and efficiency. This transition has allowed for the introduction of more channels and interactive services. Owing to these factors, the LAMEA region will have an increased demand for FTA services in the future.
