The growing adoption of cloud-based solutions is boosting the market growth. This trend is majorly observed in North America and Europe. Ongoing innovations and technological advancements are expected to meet the growing users’ expectations for exceptional video quality, performance, and security. For instance, in April 2019, Akamai Technologies spotlighted its innovations in delivering digital experiences of high quality at the 2019 NAB Show (U.S.). The company showcased its advancement in live and on-demand media services such as cloud wrapper, direct connect, and cloud interconnects.
The rising adoption of digital media across various industries has resulted in the population’s inclination toward multiple streaming services. For instance, in November 2019, Apple Inc. entered the online video cascading industry by launching its TV+ service. In June 2019, Wowza Media Systems, LLC announced the launch of a complete range of professional services for video-related solution providers. Furthermore, in March 2019, Google, the subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., unveiled its cloud-based gaming console, Yeti, which features a game streaming service along with gaming hardware.
The increase in technological advancements and the number of service providers in the market pose a threat to the standalone streaming giants. For instance, in July 2019, AT&T Intellectual Property launched a new streaming service called AT&T TV to facilitate people watching television online. In April 2018, Amazon.com, Inc. partnered with Google to bring official YouTube applications to Amazon’s Fire TV. These complementary services for television and other entertainment content are anticipated to pose a threat to existing key players in the market.
In the education and academic sector, videos can be effectively used in webinars and courses to enhance teaching and learning processes. Visual recordings have a powerful impact on students’ ability to retain information. Therefore, universities, schools, and colleges are now creating multimedia content and delivering it in the form of video presentations. Factors such as easy access to educational video content, growing demand for mobile devices, and increasing availability of the internet are positively influencing the adoption of live video streaming services for educational purposes.
The COVID-19 pandemic placed more than one–fourth of the world’s population under lockdown. As millions of individuals remained locked into their homes, the online video streaming and entertainment services experienced a rise of around 10% in viewership during the lockdown. As a result, video streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Disney+ registered a spike in the viewership worldwide. For instance, in March 2020, Netflix registered an increase of more than 50% in the number of new installations of its mobile application in Italy and more than 30% of that in Spain.
