At a CAGR of 14.02% over the forecast period, the over-the-top (OTT) market is anticipated to increase from USD 58.92 billion in 2020 to USD 167.48 billion in 2028. The OTT industry is anticipated to develop as a result of the quick uptake of smartphones and other portable devices, the extremely cheap cost of using over-the-top services, and a rising trend toward original content and live video streaming. Other factors predicted to contribute to market growth include rising internet usage, the availability of high-speed internet, free OTT service trials, an increase in cloud media processing adoption, experiments with new content monetization models, consolidation, and strategic alliances between rivals.
Due to rising smartphone adoption for over-the-top service streaming and expanding potential markets for larger screen smartphones in developing economies, the smartphone segment dominated the overall over-the-top market share in 2019 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The introduction of reasonably priced Android-based smartphones, which have democratized online gaming and made games accessible to millions of smartphone users, is another factor contributing to the segment’s predicted strong growth rate in the next years.
Due to an increase in the number of consumers of digital video, the media and entertainment sector held the majority of the over-the-top market share in 2019 and is predicted to continue doing so during the forecast period. The demand for OTT services in the media & entertainment sector is anticipated to rise as a result. However, due to a rise in demand for over-the-top services in the telecommunications industry for video calling, phone, and messaging services, the IT & telecom sector is anticipated to see the greatest CAGR throughout the projected period.
