Broadcasting

Industry Expertise

The global broadcasting and cable TV market has grown in recent years to reach a value of $17.9bn in the UK alone. Subscriptions form most of the revenue generated - totalling some 39% of the market's value. However, according to Datamonitor - the industry research specialists - the sector is expected to decelerate over the next 5 years. Sapphire believes that broadcast companies worldwide that take steps to invest in the right solution to help manage their business now, will be those that are poised to make the most impact on the market in the next 5-10 years.
