If any further evidence was needed that living room streaming is now mainstream, consider the following forecast released today by research company Parks Associates: By 2022, over 265 million households worldwide will subscribe to an over-the-top (OTT) video service. Many of those households will pay for multiple services, so Parks estimates they will have over 400 million subscriptions in total.
Parks has seen a steady increase in the sales of connected TVs and streaming media players since 2010. Adding voice control to these devices will be the next major offering.
