The direct-to-home (DTH) TV sector in India continues to expand rapidly, attracting large investments from new and existing players over the past few months and is showing no signs of slowing down due to economic recession. The DTH market which began commercial operations in 2003 has been able to acquire over 12 Million subscribers during the past five years. The number of DTH subscribers has nearly tripled in 2008 compared to the previous year, driven by the entry of two new players.
As per our new research report “Indian DTH Market Forecast to 2012”, the number of DTH subscribers is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of around 25% during 2009-2012.
Currently, the Indian DTH market is being served by five private players, Dish TV, Tata Sky, Sun Direct, Big TV and Airtel’ Digital TV, with one more planning to roll out its commercial services soon in the country. For the purpose of this report, we have not included Doordarshan in our research as this is a free DTH service channel.
Given the superior quality of DTH services in terms of viewing and interactivity, the number of DTH subscribers has been soaring. However, the current number of DTH subscribers constitutes only a meager proportion of the total number of TV households, indicating vast future growth potential.

It will help clients to understand the underlying potential of DTH services in the Indian television industry. Various factors which will drive the future growth of the DTH market in India have been thoroughly analyzed in the report.
