Audio Or Video Market Demand Drivers: What Is Fueling Industry Growth?
The future expansion of the audio or video market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing use of streaming content. Streaming consumption refers to the immediate online availability and viewing or listening of media, like video or audio, without needing to save it permanently on a device. This rise in streaming is primarily attributed to widespread high-speed internet access, which allows users to effortlessly and continuously engage with high-quality content on demand and without interruptions. Audio and video formats are crucial for enabling streaming consumption, as they are the main digital content types that users can access, play, and experience instantly online in real time, bypassing downloads. For example, in January 2024, a report from Nielsen, a US-based software development company, revealed that in 2023, U.S. audiences streamed video content equivalent to 21 million years, representing a substantial 21% increase from the 17 million years streamed in 2022. Consequently, the growing streaming consumption is a key factor propelling the audio or video market’s growth.
