Global shipment volume of cable, IP (Internet Protocol), and OTT (Over The Top) STB (Set Top Box) devices totaled 169 million units in 2018, according to Taipei-based, government-backed research institute MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute). “Despite IP and cable STB shipments declined year-on-year in some advanced countries due to reduced production lines and the US-China trade war, OTT STB devices still managed to witness a double-digit growth in 2018,” says Paul Chan, industry analyst with MIC.
