Consumers presently have the option to access the media content of their choice, such as information, entertainment, or social activities, anytime, anywhere due to the rise in the number of digital media-capable devices (such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and smart TVs), as well as faster internet access speeds with better networks, coverage, and advanced technologies (3G, 4G / LTE). Additionally, the proliferation of digital media players like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Apple TV, Roku, and Boxee has revealed a significant surge in online media consumption.
Therefore, the rise in mobile devices, internet connectivity, and digital media players or content providers makes it simpler for consumers to access music and video content moving forward, which fuels the expansion of the content streaming sector throughout the projection period. Rising viewership of live-streaming programs has created growth opportunities. Live streaming is a live video streaming network that enables users to watch, like, and share live events.
According to multiple studies, audiences are more likely to be interested in live streaming than in static content, making live streaming an effective method for providing immersive content. Changing consumer preferences have resulted in high demand for digital media devices and a speedier internet, which enables customers to access media content remotely. Video streaming provides more advantages over traditional entertainment media like satellite television (TV). These involve access to ad-free content, mobile browsing, monitoring analytics, ample access to content, a vast audience capacity, and high-quality streams.
