Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Optimization of network bandwidth & Rising preference for online streaming service over conventional TV

The effectiveness of video streaming software is greatly influenced by network bandwidth. Higher network bandwidth will enable faster streaming of high-quality material. Lower bandwidth will, however, degrade the content's quality. Market participants may have a lot of chances if network bandwidth is optimised since it will allow them to provide high-quality material more quickly. Online streaming services are becoming more and more popular among consumers over traditional television. This is because, in comparison to traditional TV, online streaming services offer a more effective way to see the material. Anywhere in the world may use a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to access these streaming services. By offering innovative solutions, major market players may take advantage of these possibilities and earn a considerable competitive edge.

Restraint:

High content creation cost

The demand for original content is always growing, but streaming services are under pressure to turn a profit as the cost of producing such material rises. Due to their ignorance of the many stages of video content distribution, businesses frequently invest more money in creating videos than is necessary. It has been a regular challenge to duplicate video footage for content development across geographies and verticals, which raises the total cost structure as well. Before the content's scheduled release date, they can break into computer systems and upload the content online for free. Because the servers that leak the content are dispersed globally and might be located in several countries, the internet's structure makes it even more challenging to find stolen content.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for on demand video streaming as well as cloud-based services

The market is expected to increase in the next years as a result of growing demand for on-demand and online video streaming services as well as rising use of digital platforms in corporate training programmes. A survey on the usage of video platforms and its effects on corporate training were also done by Kaltura, a top provider of video technology services. They discovered that 69% of workers believed that learning via video streaming platforms was more effective than reading textual materials. This element is directly accelerating market expansion during the anticipated period. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising demand for on-demand video streaming services due to technological improvements, the availability of high-speed internet connections, and others will encourage market expansion in the nearest future.

Threat:

Challenges related to piracy

Internet piracy is a significant issue for firms who develop video streaming software. Downloading content without a licence is always prohibited since it goes against the owner's consent. Companies that make video streaming software suffer revenue losses as a result of such violations. Additionally, persistent piracy problems might result in virus exposure, defective discs, and negative legal repercussions. Thus, during the course of the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to restrain the expansion of the worldwide video streaming software market.

Covid-19 Impact

The whole market for video streaming software is expected to benefit from the new corona virus outbreak. The use of cloud platforms, educational portals, social media, gaming, and video conferencing and collaboration tools like Zoom has increased dramatically throughout the epidemic. Significant players are also employing a variety of strategies, such as new product releases, product upgrades, and the introduction of new technologies, to increase their market share in the worldwide market. During the lockup period, this factor had a major impact on the growth of the worldwide video streaming software industry.

The Subscription-based segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Subscription-based segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, since it gives companies a direct source of customer income without requiring them to seek out or deal with marketers. Pricing plans for subscription services may be based on functionality, reduced to encourage bulk purchases, metered based on consumption levels, or optimised to reward loyalty. An ongoing cost is imposed on customers in order to grant them access to a platform's content under a subscription-based monetization model for online video. Users who pay the membership cost get unrestricted access to the platform's content repository on a monthly or annual basis. Users are not charged extra fees to watch videos, movies, TV series, or other sorts of entertainment. For video streaming services, the subscription-based business model offers a reliable source of income and pushes companies to engage in producing top-notch content in order to draw and keep members.

The Over-The-Top (OTT) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Over-The-Top (OTT) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to more customers resort to streaming services for their entertainment demands in recent years. The media environment has changed as a result of the expansion of OTT, with conventional broadcasters and cable companies finding it difficult to meet the needs of consumers who prefer to receive material on their own terms. OTT services are a flexible and easy method for consumers to get content since they can be accessible through a variety of devices, such as smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and game consoles. Prominent OTT services as examples. The ability to access a worldwide audience without the need of expensive infrastructure, such as satellite or cable networks, is one of the main benefits of OTT distribution platforms. This has raised the number of providers of specialised content and the level of competition in the media environment.
