"The number of new services and continued growth for many existing services show the vitality of the OTT video services market in the US," said Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates. "While Netflix holds a substantial lead, new and emerging OTT services are establishing their own place in the market."
Sappington noted that Netflix continues to lead the US market in subscriber volume, but Hulu has escalated its efforts to bulk up the subscription side of its services with the addition of new content and an advertising-free subscription tier. After only a few months following its launch, HBO Now is sixth, while Sling TV is also in the top 10 following its launch at the beginning of 2015.
