Cambridge, MA, October 16, 2006—The Brazilian cable sector is ripe for consolidation, but Vivax, the segment’s crown jewel is now gone says Pyramid Research’s latest Analyst Insight.
“The Brazilian pay-TV segment is currently enjoying an unprecedented period of growth due to the country’s strong macroeconomic performance and the growth of broadband,” comments Thomas Dorr Abreu, Senior Analyst and Insight author.
The Insight found that despite this growth, the Brazilian pay-TV segment remains fragmented with more than 100 operators in service, despite the fact that the top 8 control 93% of the market.
“Operators such as TV Cidade, Big TV and Maids TV are increasingly under pressure to grow through M&A or face a slow death,” continues Abreu.
Pyramid found that Vivax had been the subject of intense acquisition rumors since the company went public less than a year ago.
“Other MSOs, undoubtedly, will follow,” concludes Abreu.
