Connected TV: hits and misses
TMT Media Predictions 2013
In 2013, Deloitte predicts that tens of millions of connected TV sets will sell globally, and the installed base of TV sets with integrated connectivity should exceed 100 million.
A note from the authors
In 2013, because of the volumes of connected TV sets sold around the world, the implications of connected TV – chief among which is the ability to disintermediate traditional broadcasters, or even traditional TV content – will likely be the subject of intense, and occasionally under-informed, debate at conferences focused on the TV sector. But the bottom line is that unless must-see content at a competitive price point is made exclusive to connected TVs, for example via a channel or portal that is only available via connected TVs, the need for connectivity in televisions is likely to remain marginal
The base of households supporting two-way connectivity is already vast; the usage of that connectivity has remained sparse. Connected TVs will sell, but most likely primarily for the thinness of their bezels, the sharpness of their screen or their value for money. Read the report to explore more.
Connected TV: hits and misses
Consumers will buy tens of millions of connected TV sets in 2013, but broadcasters should not be concerned they will be painted out of the viewing landscape; connected TV is for many a secondary priority and seldom a key driver of purchasing decisions.
