Most companies operating in the market sell both analog and digital models, although the number of analog models on offer is considerably less compared to the digital models on offer. This is due to the rapid shift of preference from analog to digital models, both for new consumers as well as existing consumers.

Growing market penetration, especially in smaller cities and towns, is helping the market to grow. Overall, the market is exhibiting steady growth and promises ample opportunities to all the players operating in the market.
