Analyst Opinion

The OTT Video market in Central Asia is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in Central Asia are shifting towards digital streaming services, as consumers increasingly seek convenience and flexibility in accessing video content. This is particularly evident among the younger population, who are more tech-savvy and prefer to consume content on multiple devices, such as smartphones and tablets. The rise in smartphone penetration and improved internet connectivity in the region have further fueled the demand for OTT Video services. Trends in the market indicate a growing demand for local and regional content. Central Asian viewers have shown a preference for content that reflects their cultural and linguistic backgrounds, as well as content that is relevant to their daily lives. This has led to the emergence of local OTT Video platforms that cater specifically to the needs and interests of the Central Asian audience. Additionally, international OTT Video platforms are increasingly recognizing the importance of local content and are investing in partnerships and collaborations with local production companies to offer a diverse range of programming. Local special circumstances, such as the limited availability of traditional television channels and the lack of access to international cable and satellite services, have also contributed to the growth of the OTT Video market in Central Asia. OTT Video platforms provide viewers with a wider selection of content options and the ability to watch their favorite shows and movies at their own convenience. Furthermore, the relatively low cost of OTT Video subscriptions compared to traditional pay-TV services makes it an attractive option for consumers in the region. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as the increasing disposable income and the expanding middle class in Central Asia, have played a significant role in driving the growth of the OTT Video market. As more people have the financial means to afford digital streaming services, the demand for OTT Video platforms has soared. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and modernization of Central Asian cities have contributed to the growth of the market, as urban dwellers tend to have higher internet penetration rates and greater access to digital technologies. In conclusion, the OTT Video market in Central Asia is experiencing rapid growth and development due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the region continues to embrace digital technologies and as consumer demand for convenience and flexibility increases, the OTT Video market is expected to expand further in the coming years.

Methodology

Data coverage:

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.
