Key Video Streaming Market Driver
Heightened demand for encoders to support multiple broadcasting formats is notably driving the market growth. Encoders are widely used in the broadcast industry to ensure accuracy, precision, and control. This increased usage and application in the broadcast industry have resulted in increased demand for encoders. Encoders are combinational logic circuits that transform an active input signal into an optimum coded output signal. They are used in media broadcasting to support multiple formats, such as audio, video, or /image data.
Video streaming platforms deliver audio, video, and other media content over the internet without using cable technology. To offer better video quality to subscribers, players in the broadcasting industry are making use of video encoders. The rise in OTT-based content viewership has fueled the demand for encoders in broadcasting applications. Video encoders provide the sports, media, and entertainment industry with a viable solution that allows remote production, remote operation, and live production from the cloud. This factor, in return, is expected to drive the growth of the video streaming industry during the forecast period.
Significant Video Streaming Market Trend
Increasing adoption of cloud-based services is an emerging trend in the market. To increase capacity, enhance functionality, and provide additional services, cloud-based computing is used by cloud-based services. Cloud-based video content delivery networks (CDNs) are also called video CDNs. Video CDNs improve the delivery service capabilities of web applications as well as their storage. Furthermore, they provide access to numerous specialized services, such as live streaming and live migration of data.
Video CDNs help recognize essential application requirements, improve the scalability and robustness of systems, their usability, and access performance, reduce costs, and provide support for security and privacy. The significance of cloud technology is increasing in the global video streaming industry. Thus, the increasing adoption of cloud-based services will drive the market's growth during the forecast period.
Major Video Streaming Market Challenge
An increase in cases of cyberattacks is a major challenge impeding market growth. Owing to the growing cybercriminal activities and the number of malware experts cybersecurity is a crucial as well as a never-ending issue.

The people or groups responsible for such attacks gain access to the data of users, such as content and other sensitive information on the broadcasting operator channel. Cyberattacks are difficult to prevent and identify in real time. For instance, in October 2021, a ransomware attack on Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG), which is one of the largest TV station operators in the US, caused disruptions and malfunction of multiple TV stations across the country. Therefore, such incidents can hamper the growth of the video streaming industry during the forecast period.
