IMS Research has updated its Online Digital Set-top Box & iDTV Database with new information regarding TV households split by reception platform, STB and iDTV shipments and revenues, and profiles for operators in 68 countries. The update reveals that:

• On a global basis, digital TV households grew by 30% during 2009 with the IPTV and FTA DTT platforms experiencing the strongest growth, both near 60%. CAGR for all digital platforms between 2010 and 2014 is expected to be 8.2%.
• Despite the economic crisis, STB shipments increased by 18% over 2008, due in large part to analog switch-off in large terrestrial markets. A slight decline in total STB shipments is expected in 2010 and 2011. Lease-only equipment arrangements, pre-paid TV service cards, and government subsidies are being used to promote the digitization of various TV platforms both pay and FTA, hence increasing the adoption of digital TV in lower income households worldwide.
• More after the jump.
