Video Streaming Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global video streaming market based on streaming type, solution, platform, service, revenue model, deployment type, user, and region:

Based on the Streaming Type Insights, the market is segmented into Live Video Streaming and Non-Linear Video Streaming

• The live streaming segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021, with around 61% market share. The segment growth is attributed to surging demand for digital media devices and the availability of faster internet to access media content remotely. Some of the other factors that enrich the live streaming of videos are ad-free content, mobile viewing, analytics tracking, abundant content use, immense audience potential, and high-quality streams. 
• Live content such as sports and musical events have preserved the high importance of live video streaming. However, non-linear streaming is expected to demonstrate significant growth over the coming years owing to the convenience and series linking. Several other factors that fuel the growth of the non-linear streaming segment in the industry include watch-time feasibility, no buffering, large capacity, and live pause. Moreover, video-on-demand is expected to become mainstream in all age-group populations with both the streaming types.

Based on the Solution Insights, the market is segmented into Internet Protocol TV, Over-the-Top (OTT), Pay-TV

OTT’s emerging features such as hybrid monetization models, digital original content, and content fragmentation due to intensive competition are expected to further propel the segment growth.  
• In 2021, the pay-TV segment accounted for a notable revenue due to a significant rise in demand for pay-TV services in countries such as China, India, Mexico, and Brazil. Moreover, customers are shifting their preference to OTT services owing to the increased programming expenses in pay-TV and IPTV services. The growing availability of unlimited wireless data plans and public Wi-Fi has also increased the number of OTT service providers.
