The adoption of advanced technologies for live streaming content over
the internet has revolutionized the media industry. In recent years, many
companies have started offering live streaming features on their platforms.
Live broadcast technology over the internet has improved significantly and is
increasingly being used for live streaming esports, sports events, concerts,
theater, workout routines, and educational content. Furthermore, live streaming
became a necessary alternative for numerous applications during the COVID-19
pandemic. Thus, there is considerable growth in the demand for live streaming
technology to enable high-quality streams, enhanced marketing, analytics
tracking, and real-time customer interaction.
The growth of this market is driven by the surging popularity of esports
and video games, the growing preference for live-streamed content, and
increasing smartphone adoption and internet penetration. However, connectivity
and production issues are expected to restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the increasing focus on network bandwidth optimization and
the growing scope of live streaming technology is expected to create growth
opportunities for the vendors operating in this market. However, fake traffic
on live streaming websites is a major challenge for the market's growth.
Additionally, the incorporation of advanced technologies is an ongoing trend in
this market.
Increasing Smartphones Adoption and Internet
Penetration to Drive the Live Streaming Market
In live streaming setups, different technologies, such as streaming
protocols carry data to the users. Streaming platforms require high-speed
internet connectivity to establish stable, reliable connections and enable
higher content bitrate and resolution. Streaming live videos requires high
internet speeds due to factors such as resolution, bandwidth, and bitrate,
whereas audio streaming requires low speeds as it consumes smaller bandwidths.
According to Dacast (U.S.), some of the estimated internet requirements
for different streaming resolutions are as follows:
- Streaming
1080p HD videos – 25 Mbps
- Streaming
720p Videos – 10 Mbps
- Streaming
480p Videos – 5 Mbps
The wide availability of smart devices and smartphones with high
computing power and increasing internet penetration across the globe drive the
growth of the live streaming market. According to Cisco Systems, Inc. (U.S.),
by 2023, there will be around 5.3 billion internet users globally with average
global fixed broadband speeds up to 110 Mbps and approximately 3.6 global devices
and connections per capita.
