Short Video Platform Market Opportunity Drivers: What’s Unlocking New Revenue Potential?
The expanding reach of internet penetration is projected to boost the growth of the short video platform market in the coming period. Internet penetration defines the percentage of a population within a given region or country that has both access to and utilizes the internet. This rise in internet access is primarily driven by the broad availability of affordable smartphones, which empower more individuals to easily access online services and connect to the internet. The internet facilitates effortless content creation, sharing, and streaming for short video platforms, enabling users to instantly upload, edit, and share videos with a global audience. For instance, in January 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that in 2023, 30% of EU internet users aged 16 to 74 indicated they had participated in an online course or used online learning materials within the previous three months. This figure represents a 2-percentage point increase from 2022, when the percentage stood at 28%. Overall, engagement in online education rose in 2023 compared to 2022. Thus, the increasing internet penetration is serving as a key driver for the short video platform market.
