LONDON, September 3, 2024: New research from Omdia reveals that nearly 1 billion UHD TVs have been shipped globally, with the majority still in use. This analysis along with other key entertainment trends will be presented at IBC2024, where Omdia has once again been selected as the official research partner for the third consecutive year.

The global status of UHD TVs continues to evolve, with nearly 1 billion UHD TV sets currently in use worldwide, according to Maria Rua Aguete, Senior Research Director at Omdia. Notably, 30 percent of these sets are in China. However, despite the widespread adoption of UHD TVs, there remains a significant gap in the availability of content produced in UHD.

This partnership will provide IBC delegates with invaluable insights from Omdia, including analysis into the opportunities available in the advertising video market, which is projected to reach $400 billion in revenues by 2028, as well as strategies for content providers to fully leverage the potential of UHD.”

The research presented will also delve into consumer viewing habits, preferred platforms, and the strategic importance of bundling and partnerships within the media landscape.
