Over The Top (OTT) is a streaming service provided directly to viewers via the Internet. OTT services need to send information via the Internet, which is different from traditional media such as cable TV, broadcasting or satellite TV, which require a license.

The driving factors of the Over The Top (OTT) market mainly include the following aspects:

I. Technological progress

Improvement of network technology: The commercialization of 5G networks and the development of future 6G networks have significantly improved network speed and stability, making it possible to play high-definition video content smoothly. This not only improves the user experience, but also expands the audience range of OTT services.

The popularity of smart devices: The popularity of smart devices such as smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets provides a broad hardware foundation for OTT services. These devices not only support the installation and operation of OTT applications, but also have high-quality display and audio effects, which further enhances the user's viewing experience.

II. Changes in consumer demand

Demand for diversified content: The younger generation of consumers prefers to obtain video content through the Internet, and has a strong demand for high-quality and diversified entertainment content. OTT platforms meet the diverse needs of consumers by providing a wealth of content such as movies, TV series, variety shows, documentaries, etc.

Personalized needs: With the application of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, OTT platforms can more accurately recommend content that users are interested in, which improves user stickiness and viewing time. This personalized service experience is also one of the important factors driving the development of the OTT market.

3. Market competition and business model innovation

Intensified market competition: As more and more participants enter the OTT market, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. In order to stand out, platforms need to continuously innovate content, improve user experience, and expand business models.

Business model innovation: In addition to traditional advertising revenue, OTT platforms have also explored diversified revenue models such as membership subscriptions, pay-per-view, and e-commerce diversion. These innovative business models have brought more profit opportunities to the platform and promoted the rapid development of the market.

4. Policy support and industrial development

Favourable policies: The government has continuously strengthened its support for the digital cultural industry and the Internet new media field, and has introduced a series of favourable policies. These policies are aimed at promoting the development of the OTT industry and enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic market.

Industry collaborative development: The collaborative development of the OTT industry and related industries such as telecommunications, media, and advertising has provided a broader development space for the OTT market. For example, the high-quality network infrastructure provided by telecommunications companies provides a strong guarantee for the transmission of OTT content; media companies provide OTT platforms with rich content resources; and advertising companies achieve more accurate advertising through OTT platforms.

5. Globalization trend and international cooperation

Globalization trend: With the advancement of globalization, OTT companies are actively seeking international cooperation to expand overseas markets. This not only helps companies expand their market share, but also promotes communication and integration between different cultures.

International cooperation opportunities: The government helps OTT companies overcome language, cultural and other barriers and successfully enter emerging markets by setting up special funds and providing policy support. These international cooperation opportunities provide strong support for the rapid development of the OTT market.

In summary, the driving factors of the OTT market include technological progress, changes in consumer demand, market competition and business model innovation, policy support and industrial development, as well as globalization trends and international cooperation. These factors work together to promote the rapid development of the OTT market.
