The video service subscription economy generates $106 billion in revenue annually

International research and consulting firm Parks Associates today announced the topics and call for papers for the firm's eighth annual Future of Video: Business of Streaming, November 18-20 at the Marina del Rey Marriott, Marina del Rey, California. The research firm estimates that the video service subscription economy generates $106 billion in annual revenue in the US.

Future of Video, sponsored by InterDigital, addresses key industry topics through an in-person conference and virtual sessions. Topics include AI in entertainment, livestreaming monetization, immersive video, hybrid models, the role of ISPs and aggregators, and new strategies for sports content. The next virtual session, “Consolidation & Aggregation: Transformation of Streaming Services & Technologies” on August 21, features executives from Comcast, Sling TV, and Verizon Business.

“Household spending on video has declined over the past four years, but a rebound in 2025 to 2023 levels is promising,” said Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO, Parks Associates. “Service providers continue to supplement subscription revenues with advertising and, to a lesser extent, transactional revenues.
