The growing popularity of HD and UHD content is reshaping the pay TV landscape, driven by consumers upgrading to high-definition and 4K televisions. These advanced screens bring sharper images, vibrant colors, and enhanced detail, raising expectations for high-quality video. Additionally, the consumer spending habits within the pay TV market have been substantially altered by the increase in disposable incomes, particularly in emerging markets. This economic shift, fueled by robust economic growth, urbanization, and an expanding middle class with increased purchasing power, has increased expenditure on premium and high-quality entertainment options, including pay TV packages and high-definition content. Thus, this evolution in consumer habits points toward sustained growth in the pay TV market, driven by a population increasingly focused on quality and ready to invest in premium viewing options.

However, the rapid rise of streaming services has fundamentally altered the landscape of home entertainment, reshaping consumer expectations and preferences. Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and others have become household staples, drawing millions of viewers worldwide. Traditional pay TV services are unable to compete with the extensive library of movies, TV programs, and original content that these OTT (over-the-top) platforms provide.
