Conditional Access Systems Market - Witness Strong Growth due to Various Advancements

Conditional access systems (CAS) are the content protection solutions used to manage and deliver content only to the authorized subscribers. The main function of conditional access systems is to descramble and decrypt the receiving signals into intelligible format. Conditional access systems are used for content protection in pay television (pay TV) services, internet-based services and digital radio.

These CAS solutions are installed on the subscriber’s receiving devices such as set-top box. Conditional access systems, also called as revenue protection, is one of the most important network components for service providers for curbing revenue losses occurring due to piracy.

The most significant factor fuelling the growth of conditional access systems market is the ongoing digital television transition worldwide. Due to mandatory installation of digital television globally, the demand for set-top boxes is predicted to witness high demand in the coming years, thereby driving the market for conditional access systems. The demand for conditional access systems is also driven by the rising piracy issues growing across the globe.

Another significant factor boosting the market growth is the rising advancements in digital television, internet services and digital radio services. However, the market growth of conditional access systems is mainly hampered due to the high operational costs borne by the CAS providers. This is mainly in the regions where customer base for digital television is less.

The global conditional access systems market is also driven by the growing penetration of internet-based services such as internet protocol television (IPTV), on-demand video and others in different geographic regions. The demand for conditional access solutions in these applications is mainly fueled from the developed regions having large penetration of IPTV and on-demand video services.
