Not too many years ago, watching TV or movies outside of the cinema was a boring affair. It was all about flipping channels on the cable box, until luckily catching something of our choice playing somewhere! Now, traditional media companies are rapidly becoming archaic and outdated, being replaced by video on demand (VoD). The future of video streaming applications looks bright as Hollywood tentatively stares at the OTT platforms as a gold mine of revenue!
Today, you can search or browse the entire catalog of a video streaming application on your home television or a smart device. You can discover the exact thing that you are craving to watch and watch it on-demand at your convenience.
Netflix was the preeminent video streaming service, establishing the model for over-the-top (OTT) content streaming and setting the standard for the barrage of video streaming platforms to follow. From a service renting boxed video content delivered through the postal mail to on-demand streaming entertainment delivered, at last count (in 2021) to 203.7 million subscribers, Netflix serves not only as a spearhead but a useful bellwether for the future of the video content delivery and therefore, presently, streaming industry.

A study conducted by the company Deloitte Germany posited and analyzed future scenarios for Netflix in order to project the potential future of the entire TV and video streaming industry by 2030.
1. Supermarket – Will certain global digital platforms like Google, Apple, Amazon and, of course, Netflix continue to dominate the TV and video streaming marketplace and ultimately replace the national broadcasters entirely?
2. Content Endgame – Will the video and TV content producers be the ones who direct the future of the industry?
3. Revenge of the Broadcasters – Traditional broadcasters have caught on to the digital transformation and recognized that their business is in jeopardy if they don’t adjust and adapt their business model to changing times. As such, many have come out with their own streaming applications. Will it be enough? Will the national broadcasters be able to harness the new digital landscape quickly and effectively enough to regain and maintain their stronghold on the TV and video marketplace?
4. Lost in Diversity – Rather than select corporate giants of any particular type controlling the direction of the industry, could it more broadly diversify into a synergistic ecosystem in which traditional content platforms, producers, and providers participate in cooperative efforts, with smaller and more independent sources like Hotdog taking their place and prominence alongside the global leaders? The study also examined which platforms can best reach and monetize customers and how.

Regardless of which of these four scenarios play out, several main factors will invariably characterize the incredibly diverse and dynamic market for viewing video content:
These factors, both individually and combined, have helped define video streaming as we know it today and will continue to help shape it well into the future. How that future will look, exactly, is somewhat muddied by the complexities and uncertainties of the constant diversification taking place in the industry and the ever-shifting market landscape.
