North America leads the broadcast equipment market, with Asia-Pacific emerging as the fastest-growing region. This growth is driven by UHD/8K, multi-platform streaming, and cloud workflows.
Hyderabad, India, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to a new report published by Mordor Intelligence, the broadcast equipment market is estimated at USD 5.93 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 8.02 billion by 2031, reflecting a CAGR of 6.23% during the forecast period. The industry is witnessing strong momentum as broadcasters accelerate IP-based transmission, transition to cloud-enabled production workflows, and scale content delivery to meet multi-screen and OTT consumption. This rapid modernization is driving demand for encoders, transmitters, antennas, routers, and production switchers, as media networks upgrade legacy infrastructure, adopt remote production systems, and expand digital broadcasting capabilities supported by hybrid broadcasting models, content expansion, and high-resolution (HD/UHD) distribution requirements.
Technology Shifts Defining the Broadcast Equipment Industry
Permanent Shift Toward Remote Production
Remote production has become a permanent part of broadcast operations, replacing many traditional on-site workflows. Broadcasters now rely on low-latency encoders, bonded connectivity, and IP-based switchers to run multi-camera productions from centralized hubs. This shift cuts travel costs, improves crew efficiency, and supports sustainability goals. As a result, demand is rising for scalable IP infrastructure and cloud-enabled production tools that streamline end-to-end REMI setups
Shift Toward Flexible, Multi-Codec Encoding
Broadcasters are increasingly opting for encoders that can handle multiple codecs within one platform, allowing them to serve everything from older set-top boxes to modern streaming devices. Vendors are rolling out smarter, AI-driven compression tools and flexible software upgrades that help operators stay ready for new formats and major live events. With higher-resolution trials gaining traction in regions across Asia, adaptable and software-defined encoding workflows are becoming essential, keeping demand strong in this segment of broadcast technology.
Regional Market Insights
North America:
Broadcast modernization continues to accelerate across the United States, Canada, and Mexico as networks upgrade to IP-based systems, expand cloud-enabled production, and align with new broadcasting standards. Government-led spectrum reforms, major investments in remote production studios, and nationwide digital transitions support steady equipment procurement across encoders, transmitters, and production infrastructure.
Asia-Pacific:
The region is seeing rapid technology advancement driven by large-scale digitization efforts, next-generation broadcast trials, and strong adoption of immersive formats. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, China, and India are expanding high-resolution services and strengthening their transmission networks, while emerging markets focus on upgrading foundational broadcast infrastructure to support modern distribution workflows.
