HD-ready penetration will double from 25.9% at end-2011 to 50.9% in 2016. However, HD-ready penetration will be higher than 80% in 18 countries by 2016.

Simon Murray (author of the HDTV, 3DTV and DVR Forecasts report) said: Most sets on sale in developed markets are now HD compatible, with a growing proportion also providing 3D functionality. Retail prices are falling as production reaches economies of scale, as competition increases and as consumer acceptance grows.

The HD-ready household total will more than double to 652 million by 2016. China will become the market leader, by providing 151 million homes - up by 116 million on 2011.
