SNL Kagan On-Demand Projections Top $6 Billion in Five Years
New advances made in on-demand delivery and dynamic ad insertion.
Monterey, Calif. (Vocus/PRWEB ) December 13, 2007 -- SNL Kagan's new study, "Video-On-Demand: A Strategic and Economic Analysis," estimates that total VOD, PPV and NVOD revenue generated by U.S. multichannel service providers will top $6 billion within five years. This total includes cable, satellite and telco video offerings, with major contributions coming from the adult and event PPV sectors.
SNL Kagan expects on-demand services to evolve from value-added elements designed for increased customer satisfaction to significant revenue generators. On-demand ARPU is expected to top $5 per month in 2010 and $6.56 per month — or nearly $79 annually — in the 10-year outlook.
"We're starting to see factors align that can enable operators to translate the rise in on-demand traffic into more significant sales," said Ian Olgeirson, senior analyst for SNL Kagan.
VOD advertising is also a promising revenue generator. Executives at VOD-based channels have seen great demand from sponsorship revenue, an increasingly important financial factor since 95% of all VOD content is free. SNL Kagan expects the market to evolve gradually into a cost per thousand viewers model.
Growth in the on-demand segment will rely heavily on the ability of operators to expand the breadth and depth of the offerings by increasing the reach and capacity of their networks. Digital video is not only a competitive necessity for cable operators, but it also provides the foundation for future revenue growth. When combined with telco video services, SNL Kagan projects that the combined installed base of digital cable and telco video set-top boxes will top 110 million by 2011.
