Video Services: State of the Market
The video services space, including pay TV and OTT, continues to evolve to meet ever-changing market conditions and consumer behaviors.

The OTT video services market continues to evolve, with high-profile offerings from large media organizations and smaller-scale offerings from a variety of more niche players. Services continue to augment their user experiences and distribution channels with many employing a hybrid business model approach to better reach and monetize their offerings.
This State of the Market industry report examines the top trends in the US and Canadian video service markets and the forces that will affect the market over the next year. The report includes a five-year forecast of pay-TV and OTT subscriptions in the North American market.
