Market Dynamics:

Driver:

  • Increasing demand for 4K and 8K to stream high quality video content is driving the growth of the set-top box market.

Restraint:

The shift in consumer preferences towards streaming media in their own devices acts as a restraint in the set-top box market since it reduces the demand for traditional set-top boxes.
