“We are all sick of COVID-19, but it had a significant impact on the industry,” Guy Bisson, one of the founders of Ampere Analysis, said Friday during a discussion on VOD at the Venice Production Bridge, the industry section of theBisson was addressing market trends in the VOD market as part of a debate titled “Diverse, Independent and Sustainable: Building European VOD,” which was, fittingly, streamed on the VPB Live Channel.
By 2024, the ratio of unique SVOD homes to unique “traditional” pay TV homes in Western Europe will reach 1:0. With European homes catching up with the U.S. in terms of streaming stacks as well. “The big question that has been on everyone’s lips is: ‘How many services will people take?’ Sport is still the key driver of the traditional platforms, unless Amazon goes out and buys more of the Premier League [in England].
Bisson also underlined that movie-focused catalogs represent a potential scalable niche, while major SVOD services are moving toward more international content. “The linear channels still rely on crime procedurals or courtroom dramas, while streaming platforms have very specific niches: fantasy and sci-fi in particular. The type of content they are trying to buy is very different.”
