It is important to understand the different types of services offered and how Parks Associates defines them, as well as examples of some of the major players in each category.
OTT services experienced significant growth during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parks Associates research reports that in Q3 2021, 80% of US internet households reported subscribing to at least one OTT service. Meanwhile, just 57% said they subscribed to a traditional pay-TV service, continuing the long, steady decline that began more than five years ago.
Parks Associates recently presented consumer research impacting the streaming video market and addressed key trends and topics affecting the video and connected entertainment industries during the virtual session, “OTT Churn: Marketing and Retention,” as part of its Future of Video: OTT, Pay TV, and Digital Media conference series. In its fifth year, Future of Video will host virtual sessions July 21, September 22 and in-person sessions in December.
