Will Amazon Fire TV Benefit From Soaring Interest in Prime Instant Video?

Parks Associates estimates the market for streaming media players will grow 23% annualized between 2013 and 2018 as more of us get used to tuning in on-demand.

Naturally, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) stands to benefit from this shift. So does Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) (NASDAQ: GOOG ) via YouTube. But Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) might see bigger gains than either of them. Why? Amazon Instant Video is gaining popularity.
