MOVIES AND TV SHOWS OTT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Movies And TV Shows OTT Market, valued at USD 190.64 billion in 2024, is projected to grow steadily to USD 219.58 billion in 2025 and reach USD 680.14 billion by 2033, maintaining a CAGR of 15.18% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with movies and tv shows OTT experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

Over the top is referred to as "OTT." This phrase refers to the delivery of video over the internet as opposed to more conventional cable or satellite TV providers. OTT material can be accessed without a typical cable or satellite subscription on gadgets like smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Bypassing conventional cable or satellite providers and instead delivering streaming video content directly to customers over the Internet, OTT stands for "over the top." Both paid membership services like Netflix and Hulu as well as free content with ads like YouTube can be considered OTT services. OTT distribution has grown in importance as more and more people choose to view TV series and movies online instead of through traditional pay-tv providers, which has had a significant impact on the media landscape.

Due to an increase in subscribers, the worldwide OTT (Over the Top) industry is anticipated to have considerable growth throughout the forecast period. Due to shifting customer preferences, services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and YouTube are becoming more and more popular. These services offer free or paid subscription access to a huge selection of TV series and movies available online. During the projected period, rising consumer disposable income and rising leisure expenditure by this population base are anticipated to increase the growth prospects for the worldwide film and entertainment industry.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Government Restrictions Induced by Lockdown to Hamper Market Growth

Internet usage in India grew as a result of the pandemic-related lockdown, and during the past two years, digital transactions have increased by more than half. Due to lockdowns and other restrictions set by the relevant governing bodies in response to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the activities of several industries have either been temporarily suspended or are operating with a small workforce. Unlike other markets, movies and tv shows OTT is expected to experience a major rise in revenue growth as a result of this aspect. Over the course of this forecast period, another factor that could boost the expansion of movies and tv shows OTT industry is social media.
