Pay TV Thrives in the Middle East & North Africa

London, UK, January 22, 2014--Pay TV revenues in the Middle East and North Africa will grow by more than 83%  between 2010 and 2020 to US$ 5.60 billion, according to a new report from Digital TV  Research. 

The Digital TV Middle East & North Africa Forecasts report states that Turkey and Israel are expected to contribute 52% of the region’s pay TV revenues in 2020  total. From the US$ 1.49 billion pay TV revenues to be added between 2013 and  2020, Turkey will supply US$ 359 million, Egypt US$ 362 million and Saudi Arabia US$ 257 million. Revenues in Israel will fall by US$ 56 million over this period due to greater competition. 
 
Satellite TV will continue to dominate pay TV revenues, taking two-thirds of the 2020 total (similar to the 2013 proportion). Satellite TV revenues will reach US$ 3.74 billion  in 2020, up by US$1 billion on 2013 and nearly double the 2010 total.
