Global video streaming market in China overview
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the video streaming market in China to grow at a CAGR of close to 30% by 2020. One of the key reasons for the video streaming (SVoD) market growth in China is the rising demand for continuous streaming of data as per the user's convenience and time, without downloading. Owing to the increased access to multimedia devices and the internet, consumers are increasingly viewing digital videos on demand, leading to a sharp increase in online video traffic. Also, online video streaming saves storage space on the computer hard drives and external disks and makes the data management easier. With the rising popularity of internet radio stations and on-demand audio and video services, the demand for online video streaming will strengthen in the coming years.
The ban on international television series such as NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, Good Wife, and The Practice from various Chinese sites has led to an increase in the piracy of the television series in the country. The Chinese government is focusing on launching a state-owned video streaming service to control piracy and offer a legal and cost-effective method for users to access Hollywood and other premium content. For instance, TV2U has allied with Stereoscope Cloud and Vector International to launch the TARA TV service, which will stream local Chinese content to the global audience, giving them the option to view regional content.
Segmentation by revenue and the SVoD market analysis
- Advertisement
- Copyright re-distribution
- Value-added services
The revenue generation through advertisements is expected to increase during the forecast period with more people accessing video streaming websites for free, according to the video streaming industry statistics report. The profits are generated through the payments made between advertisement companies and streaming platforms to display ads. Advertisers prefer online streaming because of the growing popularity of free video streaming. Toiletries and food and beverages are the most common products advertised online by manufacturers. The segment is expected to occupy around 77% of the overall market revenue by 2020.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is highly consolidated and competitive and is dominated by a few global providers. The market is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years due to the increased number of smartphones and demand for affordable entertainment.
