According to the author, Taiwanese cable, IP and OTT STB shipment volume is estimated at approximately 12.99 million units, in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 13.4% year-on-year; shipment value is to reach at US$889.8 million. With the aggressive move of North American operators like Comcast toward IP-based cloud services, cable STB upgrades and replacements are likely to continue. Digital switchovers in China and India are also to help boost the shipment of cable STBs. The increase in IP STB shipments is expected to ascribe to orders outsourced by branded vendors from China, the Netherlands, and first- and second-tier vendors from North America.

In addition, Taiwanese IP STB makers are slated for small-scale shipments of IP hybrid broadband STB solutions in 2014 after Taiwanese makers' active negotiations with cable and satellite TV operators. Aside from branded and Chinese orders, Taiwanese OTT STB makers reportedly have secured new orders for 2014. The full-year shipment volume of Taiwanese cable, IP and OTT STBs will hit around 44.6 million units in 2013 with shipment value of about US$3.10 billion. The industry is anticipated to achieve shipment volume of 21.0 million units in the first half of 2014, up 10.2% year-on-year, with shipment value reaching about US$1.38 billion.
