Analyst Opinion

The OTT Video market in Thailand is experiencing significant growth, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: Thai consumers are increasingly turning to OTT video platforms for their entertainment needs. This shift in consumer behavior can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the convenience of on-demand streaming allows viewers to watch their favorite shows and movies at their own pace, without the need to adhere to traditional broadcast schedules. Secondly, the wide variety of content available on OTT platforms caters to diverse tastes and interests, appealing to a broad range of viewers. Finally, the affordability of OTT subscriptions compared to traditional cable or satellite TV packages is an attractive proposition for cost-conscious consumers.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Thai OTT Video market is the rise of local content. Thai viewers have shown a strong preference for content that reflects their own culture and language. As a result, local production houses and content creators are investing in creating original Thai content for OTT platforms. This trend not only caters to the preferences of Thai viewers but also helps to differentiate OTT platforms from their competitors. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of mobile viewing. Thailand has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in Southeast Asia, and this has led to a surge in mobile video consumption. OTT platforms have responded to this trend by optimizing their apps for mobile devices and offering features such as offline viewing to enhance the mobile viewing experience.

Local special circumstances: The Thai OTT Video market is also influenced by local special circumstances. One such circumstance is the high level of internet penetration in Thailand. With a large portion of the population having access to reliable internet connections, OTT platforms can reach a wide audience across the country. Additionally, the Thai government has implemented policies to promote digital infrastructure development, further supporting the growth of the OTT Video market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Several underlying macroeconomic factors contribute to the development of the OTT Video market in Thailand. The country's growing middle class has higher disposable incomes, allowing them to spend more on entertainment services such as OTT subscriptions. Furthermore, the increasing urbanization in Thailand has led to a greater demand for digital entertainment options, as urban dwellers seek convenient and flexible ways to consume media. In conclusion, the OTT Video market in Thailand is witnessing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The rise of local content and the popularity of mobile viewing are key trends shaping the market. With the continued expansion of internet infrastructure and the increasing affordability of OTT subscriptions, the market is poised for further growth in the coming years.
