In layman’s term, video streaming is a method of viewing video without actually downloading the media file.

Video streaming software is being used in different verticals such as education, entertainment, sports, government, media, BFSI, retail, transportation, energy & utilities, gas & petroleum, and chemicals.
The global video streaming market is expected to reach a value of US$ 36.29 Bn by 2030 at a CAGR of 19.3% between 2023 and 2030.

Market Dynamics- Restraint
Major challenge that video streaming software companies face is piracy over the internet. Downloading unlicensed content is always illegal since it violates the copyright holder’s permission. Such violation leads to loss of revenue for video streaming software companies. Furthermore, constant piracy issues can lead to exposure to viruses, corrupt disk, and legal consequences. Thus, these factors are expected to hamper the global video streaming software market growth over the forecast period.
Security and privacy issues remain a major challenge for video streaming software companies. Consumers are highly concerned about the privacy of the content they share through this software. For instance, in March 2020, users of Zoom Video Communications Inc. faced numerous issues regarding the security and privacy of the software. One of the most notable issues was called ‘Zoom-bombing’, which allowed access to calls that were not set to private or password-protected. It could be accessed by anyone who puts the nine- to 11-digit meeting code. Such issues hinder adoption of video streaming software. Thus, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the global video streaming software market during the forecast period.
Market Opportunities
Network bandwidth plays a crucial role in the quality of video streaming software. Greater bandwidth of the network will provide high-quality content streaming with better speed. However, lower bandwidth will hinder the quality of content. Optimization of network bandwidth can present major opportunities for market players where they can provide high-quality content at relatively greater speed. Major companies in the market can capitalize on these opportunities by providing novel solutions and gain a significant advantage in the market.
Consumers are increasingly preferring online streaming services over conventional television. This is due to the fact that online streaming services provide better efficiency of viewing the content as compared to traditional TV. These streaming services can be accessed from anywhere over a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. As a result of this, the demand for video streaming software is rising rapidly.

For instance, in November 2019, Walt Disney Direct-to-Customer & International launched its Disney+ video-on-demand streaming service. Furthermore, in November 2019, Apple Inc. introduced its ad-free subscription video-on-demand web television service Apple TV+. Such streaming services are providing lucrative content at affordable subscription fees.
