The Global Market for Multiformat Transcoders is Projected to Reach US$830.5 Million by 2020
Surge in Video Viewership Across Multiple Devices to Drive
the Global Market for Multiformat Transcoders, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces
the release of a comprehensive global report on Multiformat Transcoders. The
global market for Multiformat Transcoders is projected to reach US$830.5 million
by 2020, driven by the growing popularity of high-quality video streaming across
multiple devices.
Multi-format
transcoding is the process of automatically converting video and audio files
into formats that are compatible with multi-vendor video environments. Streaming
Transcoders represents the fastest growing market in the multiformat
transcoders market, supported by the launch of live cloud transcoding for video
output in several adaptive streaming formats. Key factors encouraging growth in live video
streaming and mobile video viewership include the rise of 4G dominated networks
with higher bandwidth capabilities, growing use of adaptive bitrate
technologies (ABR), spiraling sales of mobile PCs, and the move towards digitalizing
video content. Also driving growth in the market is the availability of new
platforms such as TV Everywhere, mobile TV, Internet TV, PiP, IPTV, Android TV,
and a broad range of other vendor specific smart TV platforms.
Technology
advancements such as cloud transcoding are fuelling demand for multi-format
transcoders. Multi-screen TVs, video-on-demand and over the top (OTT) video
content delivery models are expected to further accelerate sales of transcoding
solutions. Adoption of advanced compression standards such as HEVC/H.265 that
reduce bandwidth requirements is expected to spur gains in the transcoders
market. HVEC/H.265 transcoders enable superior and efficient video coding as they
use significantly lesser bitrates in comparison with H.264/AVC, for providing
the same quality of video service. The adoption of HEVC compression is expected
to spur gains in the market, with leading vendors developing novel HEVC
transcoders and upgrading software in already available equipment.
As stated by
the new market research report on Multiformat Transcoders, North America represents the largest market
worldwide. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing
market with a CAGR of 24% over the analysis period, led by rapidly changing media
consumption patterns including social media and leisure-technology habits. Other
factors driving growth in the region include the digitization of cable
infrastructure, transition away from analogue TV towards digital TV, rise in
Internet video traffic, spiraling sales of IP-enabled devices, growing consumer
preference for digital entertainment and the ensuing rise in penetration of over-the-top
video services.
Key players covered in
the report include ATEME SA, Allegro DVT, Arris Group, Dalet Digital Media
Systems, Harmonic Inc., Imagine Communications, Ipera Technology and Telestream
Inc. among others.
