Market Overview

A Set-Top Box (STB), often known as a cable box or digital box, is a type of gadget that receives a digital signal and turns it into material that can be viewed on a TV screen or other display device. Set-Top Boxes have progressed beyond their original function of transmitting digital TV broadcasts. They now provide a variety of features that accommodate the different entertainment preferences of their consumers, blending traditional programming with internet-based material. As the entertainment environment evolves, Set-Top Boxes play an increasingly important role by offering viewers access to a wide range of digital content and interactive services. Because of its vast population, rapid advancements in technology, and diversified entertainment preferences, the Asia Pacific region has been a major contender in the Set-Top Box (STB) market. Furthermore, comparable to global trends, there is an increasing demand in the Asia Pacific region for sophisticated features such as HD and UHD, DVR functionality, and smart STBs that provide streaming services in addition to traditional broadcasts.
