According to PwC’s Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2021–2025, global OTT revenues rose 26.2% in 2020, reaching $58.4 billion. This streaming boom has set the industry on a trajectory for rapid growth, with revenues expected to reach a whopping $81 billion by 2025.

PwC executives Kim David Greenwood, Mark Borao and Kate Kennard examine the current state of the SVOD industry and offer projections for what the future will bring in this panel discussion on PwC’s Streaming Energy report, moderated by Jennifer Wolfe.

They will discuss questions such as:

  • Last year saw a sharp demand for streaming content — who were some of the clear winners in this environment and to what can we attribute to their success?
  • How have consumer habits changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how will they continue to evolve?
  • The PwC Global Entertainment & Media Outlook estimates that global SVOD revenues will reach $81 billion by 2025. What will this next phase of growth look like?
  • This report outlines five key journeys for meeting the challenges ahead: Social Discovery, Universe Building, Strategic Teams, the Quest for Monetization, and Workflow at Scale.
