RapidTVNews reports that an Informa Media study shows that the pay-TV market in the Middle East and North Africa will grow by 36% over the next 5 years. The region had 4.5million pay-TV subs at the end of last year, and will grow to 6.1m by 2012.
However, much of the growth will come from two markets only: Israel and Turkey, neither of which are Arab markets.
Informa says the Gulf States (including Saudi Arabia) will grow from today’s 629,000 subs to 849,000 by 2012. North Africa, including Egypt, will grow from today’s 546,000 to 804,000 in 2012.
