“The biggest tectonic move continues to be the rise of ad-supported streaming. AVOD will be the main driver of growth in the US OTT sector across the forecast period,” it said. Revenue increasing at a 14.2% CAGR – well ahead of SVOD’s increase at a 6.1% CAGR – and growing its share of total revenue from 34.8% in 2022 to 44.3% in 2027.”
The 2027 total U.S. OTT video revenue reps only 4.3% year-on-year growth from the year before, just one-fifth the rate seen at the start of the forecast period in 2022, and a fraction of the 35.3% seen in 2020 at the height of the pandemic when coronavirus lockdown restrictions created the perfect conditions for record-setting subscriber growth, PwC noted.
