"Traditional pay-TV ASPU fell by 3.5% year-on-year in 2020; operators’ responses to this decline must be to increase the flexibility of their propositions and to establish a way of working with OTT partners to aggregate their services."

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the trajectory for pay-TV. Growth in operator OTT revenue will not offset the losses in traditional pay-TV services revenue caused by ASPU erosion. This report provides a forecast for pay-TV and operator OTT video services for 2020 to 2025.
