Global Video Quality-of-Service (QoS) Market Study Identifies 51%CAGR by TelcoTV and Cable Operators

LONDON, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study from MRG, Inc. articulates and explains the market size, drivers, growth patterns, budgets and future changes for the video monitoring and analyzer market for TelcoTV, Cable, Satellite and Terrestrial Broadcasting systems. Based on MRG surveys of video monitoring and analyzer Vendors and Pay-TV Operators in various global markets, the study shows fastest growth in North America and Europe as Operators gear up for more challenges from traditional Pay-TV and newer OTT (Over-the-Top) competitors. Because Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Deep Content Inspection (DCI) are part of the technology used by video probes and analyzers, this report reflects the high-growth potential that probes and monitors will play in delivering QoS and QoE (Quality-of-Service and Quality-of-Experience) to consumers and in helping Operators more effectively manage their IPTV networks.

"Operators who don't have a video quality monitoring solution are essentially using their customers as monitoring probes," says Jose Alvear, MRG Analyst. "At that point, it often is too late since many customers may be fed up and may switch their service to another provider. Video monitoring enables Operators to be pro-active, rather than reacting to service outages."

This report breaks down the market between video monitoring probes and analyzers, and then presents a total market size for both categories. Overall, the total revenues for video monitoring and analyzers were US$166 million in 2009.  From 2007, the market has grown about 130% (CAGR 51.9%) in just three years.

"As the competition between Cable, TelcoTV and OTT heats up in various markets around the world, it is becoming imperative to have a video monitoring strategy," states Alvear. "Many Operators already understand that there is a cost to poor Quality-of-Experience and that monitoring tools are critical to a successful Pay-TV implementation."

"Video QoS Monitoring with DPI and DCI: Global Market Size & Vendor Ranking" is 58 pages and is available in a printed English language edition for $1,995 USD, a PDF single-departmental license for $2,495 USD, and a corporate-wide license for $3,495 USD. It is available free as part of MRG's IPTV Tracking Service. For more information, or a corporate license, or to order the report, contact Rob Smith at 1-408-453-5553 or [email protected].
