Market Challenges

• The global Over-The-Top (OTT) market faces a significant challenge with piracy, which has become a major concern for content providers. The ease of downloading movies, games, and music for free, with minimal risk of legal consequences, is a pressing issue. In Europe, countries such as the UK, France, and Germany have strict piracy laws. However, in other EU countries, piracy is rampant. The shift to digital content and the growing internet base have made it harder to prevent piracy. In some countries, such as Switzerland, downloading copyrighted content for personal use is allowed but uploading is illegal. Location piracy through Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or false location apps is also on the rise, causing a loss of revenue for broadcasters. Canada and Brazil have lenient copyright laws, restricting access to OTT services. India, with its high incidence of digital piracy, significantly impacts the sales of original streaming services. This piracy affects the revenue inflow in the global OTT market, particularly in content publishing, and may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
• The Over-The-Top (OTT) market is experiencing rapid growth as more viewers shift from traditional TV to on-demand streaming services. However, challenges persist. OTT adoption faces resistance due to narrow genre choices and limited packaging flexibility. Wider device compatibility, on-demand viewing, and high-quality content in HD and UHD are essential. Content creators, business models, and subscription fees are key considerations. Subscriptions and new subscribers require a user-friendly interface and personalized recommendations. Higher internet speeds, smart devices like tablets and smart TVs, and broadband are essential for seamless playback. Buffering times and data analytics are crucial for improving the customer experience. Film studios, broadcasters, and advertisers seek to monetize OTT through subscription fees, streaming licenses, local content, and advertisements. The future of OTT includes personalization, recommendation algorithms, and revenue generation through subscription VoD, gaming services, and rich media experiences on handheld devices and game streaming with HD quality and 5G technology.
