"Despite impressive penetration, growth of US OTT services has slowed recently, indicating the overall market for SVOD service might be saturated," said Glenn Hower, research analyst at Parks Associates.

"However, with new niche services emerging that focus on targeted content and audiences, there is still room for growth in the space," added Hower.
