Global Blu-ray media and devices market overview
Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted the global Blu-ray media and devices market to experience steady growth at a CAGR of more than 3% during the forecast period. The rising popularity of online rental services is one of the key factors driving the Blu-ray media and devices market growth. With the emergence of online rental services like EST and subscription-based models, the Blu-ray media and devices market has a positive outlook in the coming years. The losses incurred by the declining sales of Blu-ray devices have been compensated with the increasing popularity of Blu-ray media online. This recent shift in preference to rent media online rather than going to a store is expected to propel the growth prospects of the Blu-ray media and devices market until the end of 2020.
The online media segment is experiencing growth owing to increasing penetration and the advantages of cloud storage. With new-age innovations like cloud storage, vendors can easily upload more high-quality Blu-ray content on the web. Blu-ray video consumes 12 times more storage space compared to conventional DVD media. Therefore, it is easier for the vendors to upload the content on the cloud, rather than in DVDs. Thus, increasing cloud storage space will help the vendors raise customer retention levels and profit margins in the next five years.
