In addition, it can perform several functions such as video conferencing, home networking, video-on-demand and internet protocol (IP) telephony.

Market Dynamics and Trends       

Demand for the set top box in developed countries has been increasing owing to the popularity of OTT platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Big Flix, Hulu, Disney+, and others. In addition, gaming platforms such as Sony, Nintendo, Tencent, and others have further propelled the growth of set top box market.

For instance, in September 2021, Technicolor had launched next-generation android TV set-top boxes to provide access to premium services offered by broadcasters and over-the-top providers such as Netflix, Amazon, and others in Italy.
