Key Highlights
- This growth in IPTV subscriptions will be supported by improving fixed broadband infrastructure in the country and the growing adoption of multiplay packages, which include IPTV services.
- SVOD growth is supported by diverse content offerings by SVOD players, ranging from local to international content, and rising adoption of SVOD services in partnerships with telcos.

- The growth in fixed broadband is driven by the nationwide broadband coverage expansions by the government and both operators - Ooredoo and Vodafone. For Instance, in March 2023, Vodafone and Nokia announced the deployment of 25 Gbps-capable PON-based broadband access for the 1,200+ building units in Msheireb smart city in Doha, in line with Qatar’s smart city projects.
