Parks research also found that Netflix continues to dominate the OTT space, with 43% of US broadband households subscribing to its service. But after Hulu and Amazon, with 19% and 17% respectively, penetration of OTT services drops drastically.
"However, with new niche services emerging that focus on targeted content and audiences, there is still room for growth in the space," added Hower.
