    Analyst Opinion

    The OTT Video market in Bangladesh is experiencing significant growth and development. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors are all contributing to this growth. Customer preferences play a crucial role in the development of the OTT Video market in Bangladesh. With the increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet connectivity, consumers are increasingly turning to online streaming platforms for their entertainment needs. The convenience of accessing a wide range of content anytime and anywhere is highly appealing to consumers. Additionally, the younger generation, which forms a significant portion of the population in Bangladesh, is more inclined towards digital content consumption, further driving the demand for OTT Video services. Trends in the market also contribute to the growth of the OTT Video market in Bangladesh. International OTT Video platforms have recognized the potential of the Bangladeshi market and are expanding their presence in the country. This has led to increased competition, resulting in a wider range of content choices for consumers. Furthermore, local OTT Video platforms are emerging, catering to the specific preferences and cultural nuances of the Bangladeshi audience. These platforms are not only offering local content but also providing a platform for local content creators to showcase their work, promoting the growth of the local entertainment industry.

Traditional television and cable services have limitations in terms of content choices and scheduling. OTT Video platforms offer a solution to these limitations by providing a vast library of on-demand content.

Underlying macroeconomic factors also play a role in the growth of the OTT Video market in Bangladesh. The country has witnessed significant economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income among the middle class. This has resulted in higher consumer spending on entertainment and leisure activities, including OTT Video subscriptions. Furthermore, the government's focus on digitalization and the expansion of internet infrastructure have created a favorable environment for the growth of the OTT Video market. In conclusion, the OTT Video market in Bangladesh is experiencing rapid growth due to customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The increasing demand for online streaming platforms, the emergence of local and international OTT Video providers, and the favorable macroeconomic environment all contribute to the development of the market in Bangladesh.

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Traditional TV & Home Video and OTT (over-the-top) Services. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

    Modeling approach / Segment size:

    The segment size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the segment size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.

    Forecasts:

    We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant segment. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.
