NSR Research Report: China Satellite Markets - Assessment of Commercial Satellite Transponder Demand in China, Hong Kong and Macau from 2007-2013

Description


The "Middle Kingdom" has long attracted the satellite industry with a set a demographics that seems to make it an ideal market: large and diverse landmass, enormous population with substantial ethnic and linguistic diversity, a fast growing middle class, rapidly rising penetration of pay television and broadband services, and a government actively seeking to "bridge the digital divide" between the relatively wealthy eastern half of the country and the economically disadvantaged rural, western regions.

Commercial satellite operators have certainly had their successes in the Chinese market, but not without a substantial struggle that often leaves them wondering if their efforts might not garner a better return were they focused elsewhere in Asia. Even the country's domestic satellite operator has had its share of struggles, but it is probably too simplistic to write the country off as a closed, monopolistic market as is too often done by the industry.

This latest NSR study takes a detailed look at the recent history of satellite services in China, and by extension Hong Kong and Macau, and delves into the specifics of satellite applications such as video distribution, DTH, video contribution & occasional use TV, telephony & carrier services, broadband & narrowband VSAT networking, and a mix of other services. Forecasts generated for this report are not only for commercial C- and Ku-band capacity, but NSR also employs extensive efforts to segment satellite transponder demand between domestic and foreign satellites serving the region. Further, NSR provides forecasts for channel and feed carriage, DTH subscribers and revenues, VSAT sites and revenues, and transponder leasing revenues. All told, this body of research is unquestionably the most extensive assessment of the commercial satellite market for China, Hong Kong and Macau available to the industry.

It is difficult to treat China as a monolithic market, which is the key reason NSR has included an assessment of Hong Kong and Macau as part of the research. First, Hong Kong has long been a major telecommunications hub for the entirety of Asia for numerous applications for which substantial capacity has been leased. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, is the treatment of the issue of overspill video signals into mainland China. Numbers vary, but NSR generally agrees with the assessment that there are some 25 million illegal satellite TV dishes in China receiving programming that is nominally broadcast for the Hong Kong and Macau markets or the entirety of Asia. Broadcasters are well aware of this "grey" market for satellite television and quite intentionally target it when it comes to their capacity leasing decisions. NSR's breakout of capacity demand on domestic and foreign satellites, especially for the various video services, helps to highlight and quantify this China-specific phenomenon.

Beyond the original research into the Chinese, Hong Kong and Macau markets based on extensive interviewing with key market players, this report draws upon NSR's library of existing research to both underpin and validate the forecasts made for this study. Base year data and forecasts have been integrated with NSR's Wireless Backhaul via Satellite, 2nd Edition, Broadband Satellite Markets 7th Edition, and Global Assessment of Satellite Demand 4th Edition studies. Further, as is NSR's standard practice, Excel data sheets with data from all tables and charts (more than 80) are included with the study.
