Low capital expenses: a major market driver

Low capital expense is one of the major factors driving the global playout automation market. The demand for accurate and high-quality content has been substantially high in last five years. This is because of the increasing number of channels, fragmentation of content, and rising variation of language. Video operators continuously concentrate on finding new ways of launching new channels and delivering programs with few resources. With the increasing competition among vendors and low-profit margin, CiaB allows broadcasters to use existing IT-based platform for playout automation that further reduces the capital expense.



According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on gaming, "Using playout automation devices can save broadcasters high capital expenditure and operational costs. Thus, broadcasters are not required to incur additional costs to purchase individual devices to prepare the playout chain. Consequently, playout automation increases operational efficiency and lowers the cost of a broadcasting system by integrating playout and master controls into a single IT-based platform."

High popularity of cloud-based OTT channel: a key market trend

Players such as Netflix, Hulu (News - Alert), and Sling TV have experienced exponential growth in their viewer base. Netflix had about 75 million subscribers by the end of Q4 2015 that increased to approximately 109.25 million by the end of Q3 2017. The global expansion of these players explains the need for playout automation.
