OTT REVENUES HIT 68 BILLION
According to new figures from Digital TV Research, global online TV episode and movie revenues reached $68 billion in 2018, up from $51 billion in 2017 and up by $30 billion on 2016. Subscription video on demand (SVOD) became the largest OTT revenue source in 2014, when it overtook advertiser video on demand (AVOD). SVOD’s share reached 53 percent last year.
With the acceleration of mobile devices as where individual users content is stored on the viewer for consumption. The long-term impact of growing online-service subscriptions is amplified by their popularity among younger consumers.

And roughly four-in-10 Gen Z (40%) and Millennial (38%) respondents who subscribe to cable or satellite say they have plans to cancel their service in favor of an online-only option—a rate that is nearly three times higher than for Baby Boomers (15%) and four times higher than for Silent Gen respondents (9%).
Looking specifically at the U.S. market, where video on demand (VOD) continues to gain strong momentum, Nielsen metered panel data shows that homes with subscription video-on-demand SVOD services watch less TV. A major reason for this is that SVOD users tend to be younger and more affluent two groups that customarily have lower TV viewing levels. SVOD households also have higher TV-connected and digital device ownership than the general population, but traditional TV still accounts for the majority of viewing in these homes.
