United States Over The Top (OTT) market Size, Share, Trend & Market Analysis By Type, By Distribution Channel, By End User, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities.

The United States has one of the world's largest OTT markets. The growing popularity of OTT content simultaneously liberates US citizens from cable, geographic restrictions, and broadcast schedules while also fundamentally altering the way video is sold, produced, and consumed. As a result of the limited genre options, package flexibility, increased device availability, internet penetration, and overall lower costs, adoption has increased. The increasing percentage of viewing time spent on OTT video content, combined with rising revenue figures, reflects the country's changing entertainment landscape. In the United States, approximately 64 million homes are accustomed to OTT, with the average home viewing value estimated to be around 86 hours of OTT content per month. Furthermore, nearly 66% reach homes via Wi-Fi, with OTT content genres primarily related to sports, education, and entertainment seeing rapid growth. According to the research report, "United States Over The Top (OTT) Market Research Report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the market is anticipated to add USD 95.54 Billion by the end of 2028.

This will increase demand for OTT services in the media and entertainment industry. However, the communication industry is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to an increase in demand for over-the-top services in the telecommunications industry for video calling, voice, and messaging services. During the forecast period, SmartTVs and set-top boxes dominated the market share. Because of the larger screen and easy switching options between cable and OTT platforms. Furthermore, as smartphone penetration increased, smartphones became the second most popular device for streaming OTT platforms. They are also inexpensive, allowing people of all income levels to use smartphones and streaming platforms. During the forecasted period, subscription VOD is expected to manage the market. This is primarily due to an increase in the number of subscribers using over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Furthermore, due to the high demand for advertising videos for product and service promotion, advertisement-based VOD is steadily increasing. The market is divided into personal and commercial user types. The market is expected to be driven by the personal user segment. The growing use of smartphones and tablets, as well as easily accessible internet, raises the market's perception of OTT services for personal entertainment and knowledge.

In the United States, there are now nearly 340 million subscription OTT contracts, which is more than the population of 330 million. The pandemic and stay-at-home measures, the launch of new studio-backed subscription services, and increased rates of service stacking all contributed to the market. In the United States, The Walt Disney Company announced that its Disney+ service had reached 10 million subscribers after its initial launch, placing it fourth on the list. In addition, Netflix had 69.97 million US subscribers. The US subscriber base accounts for roughly one-third of Netflix's global streaming subscriber base. The COVID-19 has increased in viewership and streaming hours, and the lack of new films in theatres benefits OTT platforms as well. SVOD has grown in popularity during the lockdown. In the early stages, hybrid services with an ad-supported business model, such as CBS All Access and Hulu, saw an increase in advertising revenues. According to The Trade Desk's second Future of TV survey of over 2,100 US consumers, 27% of US cable TV subscribers planned to cancel their subscriptions by the end of 2021. This is consistent with the shift toward OTT services observed during COVID-19.

The US OTT market is seeing increased competitive rivalry as more companies enter the market, resulting in market consolidation. In addition, television broadcasters are entering the market, either by developing their own app or platform or by investing in another OTT platform. Most TV cable operators are expected to invest in these business models in the coming years to establish their presence in the industry. Furthermore, OTT services and platform providers have been actively engaging through new launches, collaborations, multiple device integrations, and so on. Given the recent wave of media mergers and acquisitions, US market vendors are collaborating to compete with fellow streaming services. • May 2021 - HBO Max announced that it would launch an ad-supported (AVOD) version of its streaming service in the first week of June, expanding its consumer offerings. HBO Max AVOD would cost USD 9.99 per month, which is USD 5 less than the ad-free version. • December 2020 - ViacomCBS' subscription streaming service, CBS All Access, has added new family features as well as more Nickelodeon and Nick Jr content. One of the most recent family-friendly features is the ability to create up to six profiles per account, with each profile managed using "Kids Mode," which allows parents to create profiles that limit content to older or younger children based on content ratings. Recent Developments in the US OTT Market • September 2021 - Netflix acquires the Roald Dahl Story Company, gaining access to the entire catalogue of works by the renowned British author. Netflix intends to develop a universe of Dahl-inspired projects, including animated and live-action films and television, publishing, games, immersive experiences, live theatre, and consumer products. • July 2021 - Amazon Prime Video and IMDb TV have reached an agreement with Universal Filmed Entertainment Group to licence their content.
