FREMONT, CA:The widespread adoption of smartphones and other portable devices has significantly impacted the global broadcast equipment business. Further, the growing popularity of the Internet of Things has enhanced the popularity of smart connected gadgets with ultra-high-definition (UHD) screens. A rising number of people are watching live sports or music broadcasts on their smartphones and connected devices. As a result, there is a favorable influence.
Broadcasters have been urged to deliver UHD output to their upgraded subscribers due to technological advancements, which has fueled industry expansion. The increased usage of modern broadcasting equipment such as video recorders and broadcast cameras with up to 8K video quality in sports coverage and roughly 4K video quality in news coverage is giving impetus. The industry has also been fueled by increased investment in digital platforms and hardware solutions across various regions.
Finding ways to provide video content at scale and a fast-growing number of devices and formats presents many issues for broadcasters, service providers, content owners, and rights holders. Another key revenue generator for the broadcast equipment sector has been the rental sports broadcast equipment market. The growing number of international sports competitions worldwide has changed the game for the broadcast equipment rental sector.
Furthermore, the growing demand for precision in decision-making systems is driving the adoption of high-tech cameras in most sports. The equipment market is fiercely competitive, with a slew of small and major businesses competing in both the domestic and international arenas. The market looks to be somewhat concentrated, with key companies employing methods such as product innovation, strategic partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions to increase their product range and geographical reach to gain a competitive advantage in the market.
