A new report from Arab Advisors Group overviews IPTV services in the Arab world as of December 2019. Arab Advisors Group’s analysis revealed that GCC countries had the largest number of IPTV providers in the region.
Digitization and technological advancement created unprecedented channels for the delivery of television content. Furthermore, Internet networks’ ubiquity and the convergence of the telecommunication and media industries enabled a vast spread of new broadcast services. The broadcasting sector witnessed the deployment of several digitized solutions including IPTV. IPTV is in its initial stage of penetration in the Arab World, and is still developing. Reportedly, there are ongoing or planned projects by service providers and/or governments in five MENA countries, with the aim to upgrade the countries' legacy networks and install fiber optics to facilitate offering services including IPTV in the near future. These countries are Algeria, Kuwait, Libya, Mauritania, and Tunisia.
Moreover, there is a number of international and local broadcasting networks, which offer subscription-based video on demand (SVoD) services for viewers in the Middle East and North Africa. These providers include StarzPlay, Telly, Istikana, Netflix, WAVO, Shahid VIP, and Apple TV+.
