Global online video platform market was valued at USD 6.13 million in 2020. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR), of 18.4% between 2021 and 2028. An online video platform, which is a fee-based service, allows content owners and publishers to transcode, store, publish and track online video content and then monetize it. The platform allows users to simultaneously stream live video and record it for broadcasting. Users can also host videos according to demand. The online video platform is gaining significant popularity from handheld devices like smartphones and tablets. These gadgets can play pre-uploaded or live video content anywhere and anytime.
Due to growing popularity of online video, the market has seen significant growth in the last few years. Viewership is steadily outpacing traditional television channels like cable or satellite. This trend is having a positive impact on the market for online video platforms, especially in developed regions such as North America and Europe. In 2018, DirecTV, owned by AT&T, lost 1.2 millions PayTV customers around the world. This was largely due to the increased competition from Over the Top (OTT), and Video on Demand(VOD) players. DirecTV Now (AT&T's online version) gained 436,000 subscribers worldwide in the same year. This was due to shifting preferences toward online video content.
In developing countries, there is an increase in the penetration of advanced wireless networks and easier internet access. This shifts mass users towards online video platforms. Many users can now have seamless access to high-quality online videos thanks to the widespread penetration of 4G networks. In the near future, 5G networks will be widely adopted and introduced around the world. This is expected to increase video content consumption via online platforms. The network's superfast internet browsing speed (roughly 13 times that of the average network connection) will play a major role in increasing global video content consumption on online platforms.
More businesses are turning to online video platforms because of the growing trend of creating video-based marketing content that increases brand awareness. Toyota's Feeling the Street campaign was launched in 2016. It invited street performers from all over the globe to record their performances and upload them on the social media platform. Fans shared the whole experience on social media. This campaign was a huge success. It increased the company's user engagement to 440% in comparison to the previous year. To attract more customers through digital platforms, a growing number of brands use live video shopping events. Samsung Sweden hosted a live event in September 2020 to inform its customers about the Galaxy Z Fold, its new foldable smartphone series. Similar launches in 2019 have brought the company approximately USD 60 billion in global revenue. Bambuser, an online streaming video company with headquarters in Stockholm, managed the entire campaign. Alphabet Inc. and Endavo Media are two other prominent companies that offer similar solutions. ; Frame.io Inc.; JW Player; Facebook; MediaMelon Inc.

Video-on-demand accounted for more than 76.9% in total market revenue in 2020. This growth can be attributed largely to the ease of accessing videos via the cloud. Users can stream videos from anywhere in the world, and they are available instantly.

Publishers stream dynamic ads based upon users' previous keyword searches in order to execute the strategy.
As live video streaming becomes more popular, more sports streaming events that offer customized chat rooms are being added to their list. In the 2020Indian Premier league (13th season of Twenty20 cricket) league, Disney + Hotstar allows spectators to connect with one another via emoji streaming. The segment is also growing due to the increased number of people using live video streaming platforms like Twitch and HitBox. This trend is being used by gaming platform vendors to increase their revenue streams, such as paid subscriptions, ad-based streaming, and badge sales.
The media and entertainment segment had a 37.8% market share in 2020. This segment is expected to continue its dominance in the future.

The development of the media and entertainment industry will be aided by the increase in investments in live streaming sports events.
In 2020, education was the second largest end-user segment by revenue. This segment is expected to see the largest CAGR during the forecast period.
