This allows users to stream or download video content on demand, without the need for traditional broadcasting schedules or physical media. VoD platforms typically offer a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, documentaries, and other video content, which can be accessed and viewed instantly or stored for later viewing.

After capturing the living rooms all over the globe in recent years, Video Streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video see themselves confronted with first signs of market saturation. While the idea of having unlimited access to an ever-growing library of video content was attractive enough for customers to subscribe to such services, latest developments like Disney’s market entry and frequent price hikes will put consumers’ loyalty under test. It has to be observed whether Netflix’ and Amazon’s efforts to face growing competition and changing consumer tastes by boosting exclusive content production will be enough.
