Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Dominate OTT Market, But Niche Players Gaining Ground

A new report released from Parks Associates shows that 59 percent of U.S. broadband households subscribe to Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu.

The three main players have a serious stronghold, with only 6 percent of U.S. broadband households subscribing to any other OTT service without also subscribing to Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix. Parks Associates’ OTT Video Market Tracker also found that only 3 percent subscribe to one or more sports OTT video services, such as MLB.TV, NBA League Pass, or WWE Network.
