Global Transactional Video-On-Demand Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global transactional video-on-demand Video market is predicted to reach USD 13.17 billion in 2024 and USD 18.65 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

Transactional video on demand allows users to pay for and watch a specific video or video collection (TVoD). Transactional video-on-demand services have become increasingly important as online or digital payments have become more popular. TVoD provides a convenient, cost-effective, and flexible media access solution with a pay-per-view option. The pay-per-view option in TVoD is gaining traction, especially among millennials, and will likely significantly impact the business. TVoD is becoming increasingly popular due to its features, which include a straightforward income-sharing scheme for video creators and an accurate evaluation of operational costs.

Global Transactional Video-On-Demand Market Drivers:

Smartphones and tablets are gradually replacing desktop computers as the primary means of communication and content consumption. Furthermore, the rapid adoption of 4G services in developing countries and the emergence of more advanced technologies that make it easier for smartphone users to access the internet is expected to accelerate mobile internet diffusion in the coming years, propelling the global transactional video-on-demand market. Furthermore, pay-per-view and the trend of migrating from linear TV shows to video-on-demand would substantially impact the growth of the global transactional video-on-demand industry.

Global Transactional Video-On-Demand Market Restraints:

Piracy and limited bandwidth in emerging nations are the two most significant impediments to expanding the global transactional video on demand. On the other hand, government attempts to expand internet capacity in emerging countries are expected to fix the problem and significantly promote the business.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global transactional video-on-demand market:

The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunistic avenue to TVoD platforms, as worldwide shutdowns prevented people from visiting movie theatres. Such restrictions prompted people to subscribe to OTT services like Netflix, Disney+, etc. To prevent losses, production houses launched movies on OTT platforms as well. Such exclusive releases on selected streaming services catalyzed the surge in global OTT subscriptions.
