The Over-the-Top (OTT) Platform Market comprises video services delivered directly to viewers over the internet, bypassing traditional cable, satellite, or broadcast distribution entirely. Because content travels over the open internet rather than a dedicated cable pipe, an OTT service can be accessed on any connected device without a pay-TV subscription. The market includes subscription, advertising, and transactional OTT platform service models. It covers content-owner and consumer internet-video-delivery applications. Streaming platform operators and content owners are primary participants. The scope excludes the broader over-the-top advertising market and demand-side and supply-side platform markets addressing ad-buying technology rather than content delivery.
