Moreover, the rising popularity of 3D movies that provide audiences with a virtual reality experience is expected to fuel the market (VR). New marketing and distribution platforms, such as IPTV, digital newspapers, DTH, and digital cable, as well as online music and movie sales, are expected to accelerate industry growth.

Additionally, the availability of music, as well as video content on streaming platforms, makes music more accessible to everyone anywhere. Several other benefits of streaming platforms including the much superior sound quality of streamed content are contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, subscribers can easily create their audio and video playlists, thus increasing the popularity of these platforms among millennials is likely to favor the market growth.

Major players have adopted strategies like regional expansions and distribution partnerships to venture into untapped markets. A number of these players have now been focusing on the production of regional content to establish a strong connection with the audience in these markets. For instance, in February 2021, Disney+ launches the Star brand in Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe, and Canada.

New talent has risen as a result of easy access to an audience via numerous channels such as television and the internet. Industry success in emerging areas is fueled by increased usage of mobile communication and the internet in nations like China, South Korea, and India. As a result, global market stagnation caused by the maturing of major markets such as the United States is overcome by increased demand and rapid progress in Asian countries.

Revenue generation is restricted due to high piracy rates and lower profit margins through online streaming. The number of new entrants in the online streaming business is observed a rise. Developments in cybersecurity laws and tightening legal actions against piracy are expected to reduce losses for the players.

Product Insights

In terms of revenue, movies dominated the market with a share of 55.4% in 2021. Over decades’ movies have become a significant part of most cultures across the world. The prominent place of cinema in people’s life has made its primary means of entertainment in most countries. Moreover, developments in technology, acceleration in production, improved quality, and better storage solutions, are driving the growth of the movies segment.

Various strategic initiatives such as product launches are helping companies address the evolving needs of customers and gain a competitive edge over other players. For instance, in April 2020, beIN Media Group, LLC launched a new cinema service that offers the latest international movies. The company announced ground-breaking cooperation with film distributors so that it can provide the latest movies straight to subscribers before they are seen in the cinema.

Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030. The growth is majorly attributed to the rising expenditure of the consumers on leisure and entertainment.

Additionally, competitors are observed to concentrate on the production of regional content to increase their sales in these regions.
