    Broadcast & Pay-TV Industry Market Tracking
   
   
Each year, Futuresource conducts research and provides reporting on the broadcast landscape across more than 40 countries around the globe.

Core metrics - including subscribers by platform, HD adoption and analogue-to-digital migration - are supplemented by in-depth profiles of the leading pay-TV operators in each country. Primary interviews conducted with these operators secure information which includes:

Review of set top box business model, including identification of key suppliers
Assessment and report of service strategy
Technology standards

Additionally, Futuresource provides annual performance reports covering the financial health of the key players in broadcast and pay-TV for the major global markets.

         
    Professional Camcorder & Professional Monitor Quarterly Market Tracking    
   

Futuresource Consulting provides two unique services to the broadcast and professional video industry: a pro camcorder quarterly tracking service (EMEA only) and a pro monitor tracking service (EMEA and US).

These services are unique, as they operate with the full support of the key manufacturers of each product. This means that the data is highly accurate, allowing users to closely track market volumes and value. Data can be examined and analysed in a large variety of ways, using the Futuresource Analyzer software, which allows users to search by country, specification, price and brand, to name just a few options, or by any combination of these.

Futuresource also provides a monthly tracking service for pro camcorders that have a street price of less than €10,000.

 
         
    The Strategic Impact of 3D    
   
Futuresource research and reporting into 3D draws on the company's ongoing dialogue with all industry segments involved in the development of a consumer 3D market.

Tracking of this relatively new area covers:

Consumer research from Futuresource Consulting’s in-house program ‘Living with Digital’
Forecasts for 3D consumer electronics hardware and packaged media, including TV-sets, Blu-ray hardware and games consoles
Roll-out and timescales for 3D content and services, broadcast, theatrical and 3D Blu-ray

         
    The Convergence of Consumer Devices    
   
As the content and consumer electronics industries converge, Futuresource is uniquely positioned, thanks to its long standing research relationships in both sectors. Futuresource fully understands the impact and potential for the connected home, and provides continual monitoring of connected devices in all form factors.
