Broadcast encoder vendors are staring at a gloomy revenue growth trend. On one hand, market demand from the strongest revenue generators is saturating, as the United States and Western Europe have achieved their digital television deadlines. On the other hand, the broadcast industry worldwide has been ailing, struck by the economic slowdown and shrinking advertising revenues.

"Among all the various video encoder segments, the broadcast encoders market has been the most affected by the recession. Frost & Sullivan expects the market to decline by over 28 percent in 2009, and further decline in 2010. Though there is promising demand from a number of developing countries all set to digitize their television services, the market faces several challenges -- pricing, intense competition, and changing customer demands," observes Nath.
