This report discusses the growing and evolving broadband video market, highlighting the impacts from connected CE devices (connected TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and Internet adapter set-top boxes) and mobile broadband. Over the course of the next five years the broadband video market (total videos) is expected to grow at a 15% CAGR (2010 to 2016), driven by a 9.6% CAGR (2010 to 2016) in worldwide viewers of online content. With the continued penetration of CE devices and mobile devices such as tablets, along with subscription and OTT services, long-form content is expected to experience a stronger growth rate than the more established short-form videos. Connected TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and Internet adapter boxes will help bring this content to the main screen, but pay-TV services are expected to maintain a significant presence in the digital home, adapting and evolving with the changing landscape.

The report includes forecasts for online video viewers, views (by type: short/mid/long-form), and penetration rates for the targeted CE devices (connected TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and Internet adapter set-top boxes) and mobile broadband subscriptions for the following regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East Africa.
