The global over the top (OTT) market was valued at USD 101.42 billion in 2020 to USD 251.76 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 13.87% from 2021 to 2027. Over the top (OTT) is a provided film and television online content platform that can be watched with a high-speed internet connection instead of a cable or satellite provider-based platform. Currently, the OTT adoption aided the video, music, podcast, and audio streaming category significantly. Increasing adoption can be attributed to the narrow genre choices, packaging flexibility, wider device availability, internet penetration, and lower costs. Presently, over-the-top services are at a relatively nascent stage, are widely accepted as a trending technology globally, and are projected to witness the innovative and advanced transformation. However, the proliferation of smartphones with integrated advanced communication functions has revolutionized the OTT services market. Significant growth in OTT services has been increasing the data usage, thereby increasing the flow of revenue for the telecom service providers.

According to ITU, in 2019, internet users worldwide were 4.13 billion, up from 3.92 billion in 2018. Subsequently, global mobile data traffic is set to surpass 77 exabytes per month in 2022, up from 8.5 exabytes per month as of 2017, according to the same source. Given that the advent of high-speed internet has opened up new opportunities for revenue generation through OTT services for the telecom service providers, the market being studied is supposed to get momentum.

One of the primary drivers of OTT services is the adoption of cloud services. Cloud technology has enabled ‘service portability’ to the OTT service providers. For instance, according to Tata Communications, the market for the public cloud has seen massive growth over the past decade, skyrocketing from a value of less than 6 billion dollars a decade ago, and the market is projected to be worth around USD 236 billion by the end of 2020, thus enabling service portability features by allowing users to upload data and access content from any device and any place. Furthermore, the rising demand for customized content led to significant adoption rates of OTT devices. This offered the users the flexibility to view varied content. Also, affordable rates of high-speed internet across the emerging economies led to a massive increase in the adoption rates of subscription services, according to user convenience.

This trend is expected to continue as operators in the region switch to 5G networks using a mix of the low, medium, and high-band spectrum. The need for higher internet speeds is being driven by the rising number of smartphone subscriptions and the need for increasing average data volume per subscription.

Restraints: Growing Threat of Video Content Piracy and Security Threat of User Database Due to Spyware

Despite the factors driving the market, the market growth is expected to be hindered due to the growing threat of video content piracy and the security threat of user databases due to spyware. Amidst the heavy debates concerning the shifting landscape and predictable eventualities of a highly growing market, online video content piracy has been increasingly showing its strength time and again when the original content is being released. According to the data from leading industry associations, about 47% of consumers are frustrated with the growing number of subscriptions required to access the content that may interest them. This has been the driving reason for some customers to resort to illegal measures such as content viewing through torrent websites or illegal streams.

Opportunities: Mergers with National Producers and Film Studios Across Regions

Amidst the COVID -19 pandemic, film studios and content producers have been bearing the brunt of cinema complex/hall closures. To cope up with the situation, national producers are increasingly looking towards OTT. The extended lockdowns and the current state of the economy have opened gates wide open for the world of entertainment through OTT. OTT media platforms have gained increasing prominence, with people wary of going to theatres to watch entertainment content. Players like Netflix have stepped in to fill the void. The producers of the entertainment content are turning to OTT service providers to reach viewers.

So far, films, which were supposed to have been released in the theatre if not for COVID -19 pandemic, are forced to alter their plans. The solution is found by premiering the content on streaming platforms. On the other hand, producers, having understood the potential of the OTT platforms, are developing content solely for OTT viewers.
