Over-The-Top (OTT) Content Market: Video Content Type Segment to Remain Dominant Through 2026: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2016-2026


LONDON, Jan. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Over-the-top (OTT) content is the delivery of audio, video, images, and other media over the internet and bypasses traditional content distribution services. OTT services are mostly related to communication and media and are generally lower in cost than the traditional method of content delivery. OTT content, applications, and services are increasingly being adopted in all segments of commerce and society and are affecting and disrupting traditional industries at a significant pace. Consumers use online video instead of traditional television; online communications platforms instead of traditional telephone services; and today are able to download films and music that were once provided only on physical media. Additionally, the process of advertising and searching for services is increasingly moving to these online platforms. This has led to an exponential market growth globally. The global OTT content market is estimated to be valued at US$ 53.2 Bn by the end of 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period (2016–2026).

Increasing penetration of high speed broadband is a major factor driving market growth

Growth in the penetration of high speed broadband, increasing mobile subscriptions and adoption of mobile connected devices, new features and advanced capabilities in smartphones, attractive pricing, and more content options are some of the major drivers fuelling the growth of the global OTT content market. Also, a shift in viewer preferences from the television format to a more customised, anytime, anywhere content viewing format is also boosting the growth of the global OTT content market.

However this growth is hampered by factors such as online piracy activities, low bandwidth in emerging countries, lack of offline content availability, and technical challenges faced during OTT content delivery.
