Set top box is a hardware device that receives a digital signal and convert that signal into analog single by using onboard chipsets. The analog signal is further transmitted to TV as input signal. The chipset consists of various components including memory, input & output ports, and secondary storage.
Global set top box (STB) chipset market is segmented on the basis of node size, application, content quality, type, and region. Based on the node size, the market is further segmented into 22 nm, 28 nm, 40 nm, 65 nm, and 90 nm. On the basis of application, the global set top box chipset market is segmented into satellite STB, cable STB, IPTV STB, and others. On the basis of content quality, the market is segmented into standard definition, high definition, and 4K and above. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into front-end chips and SoC chipsets.
Market Dynamics:
Global set top box (STB) chipset market is expected to witness growth, owing to increasing adoption of advanced technology such as 4K and others. 4K technology is gaining popularity, owing to the better picture and video quality offered by the 4K TVs. According to the Coherent Market Insights’ analysis 2021, there will be more than 67% adoption of 4K TVs in the U.S. by 2023. This TV requires 4K set top box that needs higher processing capacity than HD or full HD set top box. Thus, many set top box chipset manufacturers are launching 4K chipset, owing to increasing demand for these chipsest.
Furthermore, many key market players partners with set top box manufacturers and digital service provider, in order to develop set top box chipsets. In January 2021, Amlogic, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company announced the partnership with Skyworth Digital, a China-based company that manufactures STBs. Through this partnership, Amlogic, Inc. and Skyworth developed Ultra HD set top boxes (STBs) with Amlogic’s latest S905X4 chipset.
The set top box chipset manufacturers are constantly adopting advanced technologies such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6, in order to provide high quality products to the consumers.
