Online Video Platforms Market Analysis
The Online Video Platforms Market size is expected to grow from USD 969.32 million in 2023 to USD 1,804.16 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.23% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
- The last decade has seen immense changes in how customers view media, how companies create those media, and how marketers advertise on them. Due to the spread of COVID-19, many people are practicing social distancing, which means that entertainment options are more limited. With the uncertainty ahead, everyone is looking to save money, so people may be reluctant to subscribe to streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Disney+. This offers an immense opportunity for OVP companies to expand further. COVID-19 has also encouraged students to turn to online video platforms for education. Due to global lockdown with schools and colleges shut indefinitely, online video learning platforms are witnessing a surge in viewership. In March 2020, YouTube reduced the quality of its videos in Europe, as an increase in home usage strains the continent's internet during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
- A rapidly growing young population, rising consumer demand, and improving advertising revenues, coupled with the increased usage of 3G, 4G, the advent of 5G and portable devices, is also driving the need for the online video platforms market.
- Over the next few years, data traffic levels may grow, precisely due to the growing appetite for video content. For instance, according to Cisco, global mobile data traffic will increase seven-fold between 2017 and 2022, reaching 77.5 Exabytes per month by 2022; 5G will be 3.4% of connections but 11.8% of the total traffic; a 5G connection will generate 2.6 times more traffic than the average 4G connection, thus resulting in the growing access to people absorbing content. Mobile device ownership is already established in the developed countries but is gradually catching up in the emerging economies as well. Thus, businesses wanting to advertise on online video platforms are explicitly tailoring their ads to be more mobile-friendly.
- As mobiles continue to grow, advertisers can develop techniques to improve ad load speed, increase engagement, and decrease bounce rates without disturbing the video viewing experience. Many of them depend on 5G to transform mobile advertising, as the new 5G enabled devices are released over time. Video analytics is set to gain a significant market share shortly. Modern analytics tools offered by the vendors allow customers to gather detailed information on the audience and their viewing habits. For instance, YouTube Analytics (found in the "Studio" section) gives overall channel traffic over time, which is one of the ways to spot any peaks and seasonality a YouTuber may want to incorporate into his/her ongoing strategy.
- Vendors are engaged in new solution development to remain relevant in the market. For instance, in May 2020, Minute Media, a global technology and digital publishing platform, announced the launch of Voltax Video. Serving as a Publishing-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution for other digital publishers includes a suite of video technology tools designed to grow engagement, content, audience, and monetization, with a unique revenue-share model that removes the upfront cost and is designed to scale.
- Speed is very crucial in today's fast-paced world, especially on the internet. People are spending a substantial amount of time online consuming content such as movies and TV shows, games, downloading music, among others. The rise in Internet usage has created an expectation for near-instantaneous content delivery. Internet users are expecting their online experience to be superior in quality, with a quick start-up time and no interruptions.
