Live streaming pay-per-view is a video hosting service that allows broadcasters to upload and broadcast videos in real-time on a paid basis. In the last few years, the market has gained significant traction due to a rising number of companies focusing on collaboration strategies to expand their offerings in the market. As the competition is growing in the video streaming market, the companies are focusing on partnerships to expand to new markets.

Further, the increasing number of live educational workshops and seminars by industry experts and educationists has fostered the growth of the market in the last few years. These live educational sessions require a limited setup of hardware and software with no classroom infrastructure, and these factors significantly reduce overall operational costs. Further, the evolving technology in video streaming platforms allows video presenters to integrate their live video sessions with data visualization tools that design and present online the subject-related visual graphs and diagrams comprehensively. These visualization tools provide students with a real-time classroom experience and enable them to join the platform from anywhere across the globe.

In addition, the rise of e-learning businesses globally in recent years has increased the growth of live streaming pay-per-view services. The growth can be attributed to the advancement of the Learning Management System (LMS) platform that integrates virtual whiteboards, screen share, and a chatbot, and this learning management system allows for better collaboration between teachers and students. Furthermore, the outbreak of COVID-19 has propelled the market growth as the pandemic forced students to attend virtual classrooms at home. For instance, BBC and Pearson entered into a partnership and formed an e-learning platform. This initiative was taken to teach the English language to primary/pre-primary class students. The company also conducts paid live sessions to help out students.

Also, the market is gaining significant traction due to a rising number of companies focusing on collaboration strategies to expand their offerings in the market. As the competition is growing in the market, the companies are focusing on partnerships to expand to new markets. For instance, in February 2018, Cleeng, a SaaS platform provider, entered into a partnership with Dacast, an online video platform provider. This will enable users of the former to access the paywall solution of the latter. This solution will enable Dacast users to access advanced monetization features. The partnership will also help Cleeng to increase its user base, thereby profiting both the companies. In March 2020, the Sky Group announced a partnership with Disney for Disney+. This deal was aimed to launch new channels and genres, helping to build Sky Studios Elstree. Thus, with the help of partnerships, companies can generate a more customer base and develop wider content for their users. This is increasing the number of users of these services, thereby leading to more revenue generation. Such factors are driving the growth of the market.

Live Streaming Pay-Per-View Market Trends

Advertisers keep using live streaming pay-per-view, a video hosting service platform, to upload and broadcast their content in real-time for a fee. Through various collaborative techniques, many businesses have started to concentrate on increasing their services in the live streaming pay-per-view industry. Furthermore, live workshops and seminars led by various education specialists have adopted live streaming and pay-per-view platforms, which drives the market growth.

Over the pandemic period, schools and colleges were closed, which increased the number of live educational interactive sessions by specialists, which increased the institute segment's sales revenue and significantly influenced the market. The industry is driven by the increasing usage of live streaming pay-per-view in the education and entertainment industries.

The downside of live streaming services is that it requires a fast internet connection. While streaming services provide access to high-quality video files, those files are relatively large. If it does not have a fast internet connection, it simply becomes unable to enjoy your favorite movies and series in good quality. As a result, purchasing those streaming services is not worthwhile if you reside in a rural place with a poor internet connection. These are limitations for the Live Streaming Pay-Per-View market over the forecast period.

Live streaming enables brands and enterprises to communicate with customers, builds a relationship with customers, and provides them with a personalized experience with the business. Customers want to be associated with the brand and learn about the company and the people who work there. A live video makes a business more approachable and demonstrates its personality, showing market opportunities over the forecast period.

Vertical Insights

The media and entertainment segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of nearly 33.0% in 2019. The segment is expected to remain one of the largest segments over the forecast years. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising popularity of Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) in recent years. Further, the increasing number of live concerts and shows hosted by artists and singers are also fueling the demand for TVOD. The transactional video-on-demand service adoption trend is positively impacting the live streaming pay-per-view industry and is expected to grow at a significant rate.       

Further, the sports segment is anticipated to emerge as the prominent growing segment over the forecast period. In the last few years, the increasing number of various sports events has widened the scope of live streaming on pay per event basis. Besides the increasing sports events, the rising adoption of Over The Top (OTT) platforms with streaming live sports matches on a pay-per-view basis has also changed consumers’ preferences. This has helped a large number of digital media companies to generate massive revenue by streaming live. Hence, the segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period.

Live Streaming Pay-Per-View Market share, by vertical

The institute sub-segment in the education vertical dominated the market and accounted for 48.2% of revenue share in 2019. Also, the segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the rise in the number of live virtual educational workshops and seminars hosted by industry experts worldwide. Besides the increasing number of educational seminars, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of online classroom participants as students are opting for live-streaming classes on a pay-per-view basis.

Additionally, schools, corporates, individual teachers, and coaching institutes are all using video-on-demand platforms to deliver their content to a broader audience. The flexibility of location and time has driven students to actively access these contents on any device. These factors are further expected to drive the demand for live streaming pay-per-view services. In the age of information, people want to keep learning new skills and enhance their knowledge base in order to maintain pace with the ever-changing digital era. Due to this, more institutions are shifting towards providing educational content on the subscription video-on-demand platform, thereby driving market growth.

Further, the growing purchasing power and disposable incomes of the middle-class populations are anticipated to result in an increasing demand for consumer electronics, which in turn creates a supplementary demand for video streaming platforms as well. The global penetration and extensive adoption of digital media among mass audiences have fueled a notable shift in the apportioning of advertising expenditure globally, from traditional media to digital media platforms.
