The research underlines how planned differentiation, high-end UI/UX, innovative production strategies, personalized feeds, and multiple advantages over traditional video platforms empower streaming services to absorb the adverse effects of the pandemic and lead the entertainment industry revolution.
The research also highlights how the increasing number of people choosing OTT platforms for entertainment needs has helped marketers shift focus from advertising to content creation and have found OTT platforms as a convenient and cost-effective way to reach the target audience.
GoodFirms’ survey finds that exclusive and diverse content, multi-language video feeds, fresh content offerings, cost saver pricing structures, ad-free viewing, downloadable content, playback controls, and multi-device compatibility coupled with super-fast internet connectivity are the top reasons behind the rise of global streaming services.
Further, the research was able to extract the fact that Netflix and Spotify dominate the video and music streaming industry respectively.
“From pioneering binge-watching trends to producing high-quality original programming, Netflix, differentiates itself from the deep-pocket peers and remains the top choice of subscribers when it comes to video streaming services,” reveals Goodfirms research.
According to GoodFirms, Spotify dominates the music streaming industry with the largest subscriber database owing to its sophisticated AI-based algorithms that created a benchmark for predicting and recommending music to users.
The changing consumer demands, unstable content competition, costly licenses, and exclusive streaming rights, piracy, and privacy concerns in sharing card details, are indicated as some of the top challenges that restricts the expansion of the streaming services
GoodFirms’ research analysts are of the view that the upcoming trends in the streaming services will focus on meeting the expectations of the users by providing hyper-personalized services and upgrading the current services. The future trends include consumers paying for content that is relevant to their lifestyle, exclusive or rare, more companies creating their own new streaming platforms, and offering more variety at different price points.
‘The world may also see the rise of a super aggregator that imbibes all the desired aspects of users.’ -GoodFirms.
GoodFirms’ research concludes with special insights on how the streaming services can attract and retain subscribers, consistently provide compelling video/audio content including gaming and metaverse-based content, and drive popular discourse around the same.
