Similarly, in countries with a strong sports culture, there is a high demand for live sports streaming on OTT Video platforms.

As a result, platforms are partnering with sports leagues and broadcasters to offer live sports events, attracting sports enthusiasts and expanding their customer base.

The increasing disposable income of customers, coupled with the affordability of OTT Video subscriptions, is driving the adoption of these platforms.

Additionally, the growing penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity is enabling customers in remote areas to access OTT Video content, expanding the market reach.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Traditional TV & Home Video and OTT (over-the-top) Services. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / Segment size:

The segment size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the segment size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant segment. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.
