PALM BEACH, Fla., March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the intriguing stories during the COVID-19 pandemic, is how the virus has in fact actually spurred the growth of certain industries. The Over-the-top (OTT) market is one of them. The current estimation of 2027 is projected to be higher than pre COVID-19 estimates. The COVID-19 outbreak has positive impact on the growth of the global OTT market, due to constantly rising demand for OTT services. This demand is majorly attributed to continuous growth in online communications services, owing to the lockdown imposed, as more numbers of viewers are communicating through various online platforms. Moreover, the consumption of online entertainment platforms is increasing remarkably in the developing economies such as India and China, which is positively impacting the growth of the market. A report from Allied Market Research said that the global pre-COVID OTT market was $121.61 billion in 2019 and it is projected   post-COVID-19 to grow from $171.36 billion in 2020, and estimated to reach $1,039.03 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 29.4%.   Active tech companies in the markets this week include Versus Systems Inc.

OTT content can be directly downloaded and viewed on user's demand. This type of content includes movies and TV services, and is delivered directly over the internet to connected devices such as PCs, tablets, smartphones, and consoles. Presently, over-the-top services are at a relatively nascent stage, and are widely accepted as a trending technology across the globe. The over-the-top market is projected to witness innovative and advanced transformation, which enable the customers to access everything they want at a single space.  Ad-supported VoD platforms is experiencing strong growth in ad revenues, thereby making the advertisement-based revenue model popular amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, five of the major ad-supported streaming platforms such as Hulu, Peacock, Roku, Pluto TV and Tubi, ad revenue reached 31% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2020."
