DRM has long been considered as a disabler rather than an enabler in the consumer world. However due to the monetary value associated with video content, content owners and providers adopt security mechanisms to ensure content remains protected from creation to delivery. Among today’s delivery mechanisms, one that has gained traction in the market is web distribution. Broadband penetration has enabled consumers to access content online with ease and flexibility. However, this also exposes content to unauthorized use and piracy. Hence, technology vendors such as Adobe, Microsoft, and Widevine offer DRM solutions for securing online video in order to prevent digital assets from illegal and unauthorized use.

This Research Report examines current trends in the broadband video market, discusses business models, profiles key DRM technology providers, and includes DRM market forecasts.
