“Europe has served as an early market for new online video services. As the wave of OTT video breaks across European markets, new opportunities for partnerships are opening up among OTT services, CE manufacturers, and pay TV providers,” said Parks Associates director of research, Brett Sappington.
Separately, Parks said that the 58% of broadband households in the US use at least one OTT video service on a monthly basis, while more than 25% of households use two or more services.
“Despite impressive penetration, growth of US OTT services has slowed recently, indicating the overall market for SVOD service might be saturated,” said Parks Associates research analyst Glenn Hower.
