Parks Associates Releases Pay-TV, App, OTT, and User Interface Research
Industry Reports Address Emerging Opportunities, Partnerships, and Strategic Recommendations for Connected CE Industry
(firmenpresse) - DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 03/12/15 -- Parks Associates announced today the release of providing strategic recommendations for service providers, app developers, and platform developers as consumers turn increasingly to OTT and non-linear content options. The report notes that while consumers watch over 30 hours of video per week on average, the number of households planning to cancel their pay-TV service (potential cord-cutters) has also increased, reaching 7% of U.S. broadband households with pay-TV service.
"The pay-TV industry is experiencing a slow crisis in terms of paying customers," said , Director of Research, Parks Associates. "Content is key to attracting and retaining consumers, and consumers are now looking beyond pay TV for that content. The new deal between Apple and HBO to stream the HBO Now streaming service to Apple devices is just the latest example. At the same time, companies like Google and Amazon are getting into the content creation business, providing a new competitive threat to the traditional ecosystem."
"Consumers have extensive content choices, including live TV, VOD, and OTT streaming, and they are using multiple interfaces to access desired content," said , Director of Research, Parks Associates. "For consumers, the lines are blurring between CE makers, operators, and content providers, so they will make their decisions, first and foremost, based on who has the desired content and secondly on who provides the easiest method to find and consume that content."
Parks Associates reports analyze the extent of these new challenges and provide strategic recommendations for companies to adapt to the new video services ecosystem. Recent industry research reports include:
