The global OTT devices and services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.6 percent between 2016 and 2020, according to the latest report from Research and Markets. In Western Europe, in particular, Parks Associates found that OTT video usage is expanding, with 55 percent of UK broadband households and 51 percent in France watching TV programming and movies online.
As OTT video consumption continues to rise, video quality is becoming increasingly important. One in five viewers will abandon poor experiences immediately, regardless of genre. Given the explosion in OTT viewing and significance of high video quality, 2017 could be the year that content providers stop depending on pay-TV operators in terms of whether or not they’re able to guarantee quality of service (QoS) for subscribers.
