For the now popular Internet TV, 2013 is destined to be a special year. A group of Internet companies swarmed in to occupy the next mobile Internet portal after the so-called smartphone. From the tentative launch to the rapid growth and outbreak of a price war, the Internet TV industry completed in less than a year Evolution from loneliness to chaos.
LeTV, Xiaomi, iQiyi, Alibaba and Huawei, which has just begun to accept pre-sales, have launched corresponding products. Although TV is considered to be the fourth screen that should be contested under the smart strategy, this cake is not easy to swallow.
According to industry analysts, Internet companies, hardware manufacturers and traditional TV manufacturers that have entered the smart TV industry have their own advantages in competition. They are more complementary through the integration of resources and hardware. Copyright and strong technical patents will determine who goes further, and creating a healthy and reasonable ecosystem is also a guarantee for every new thing to survive.
As in the recent copyright lawsuit of Xiaomi Box, Xiaomi responded to Youku's copyright lawsuit, saying that it had nothing to do with it, and pointed the finger at iCNTV. He claimed that he had no content. The content was provided by iCNTV, and if it was infringed, it was also iCNTV. In this regard, industry insiders admit that when the lawsuit provokes the upper body, the first reaction of Internet companies without content copyrights and technical patent reserves is self-protection and shirk. Xiaomi can even "sell" its own partners. If you don't rely on the CNTV license, the Xiaomi box has not been available to date.
While the rise of Internet TV has eroded the TV market, traditional radio and television manufacturers have not waited for their death. Tongzhou Electronics, the leader in the field of set-top boxes, has picked up technology patents to maintain its own development. Citing industry analyst Liang Zhenpeng's statement to relevant media, traditional TV manufacturers are deeply entrenched and their status is difficult to shake; while Internet TV also has its own problems, it is difficult to establish an "ecosphere" and the TV price wars are staged to make it difficult to gain a position.
Fortunately, there is still huge room in this market. Data show that the total volume of China's current TV market is not less than 400 million units. The annual sales of color TVs reach 40 million units, of which smart TVs account for about 40%. With a smart TV set at 5,000 yuan, the total market size is 80 billion yuan. According to the market price of 300 yuan for a smart box, the total market size of the box is 40 billion yuan. The 120-billion-dollar "cake" is enough for any enterprise to be excited.
