2020 has been a massive year for OTT platforms and businesses. And 2021 will only get bigger.

The streaming TV ecosystem is growing rapidly, and the pandemic has only accelerated consumer adoption to OTT. There have already been over 1.4 million subscribers leaving cable in 2020 and counting. As experts in the OTT space, our team at MAZ only sees this growth going up in 2021 and beyond.

Did you know that 71% of the internet users in the US own an OTT device? Or that 64% have an active OTT subscription? That rounds to about 182 million people in the US alone.

The world of over-the-top content (otherwise known as OTT) can be complex. On its face, OTT is the technology that allows viewers to stream videos over the internet. But behind the scenes, there are hundreds of companies and OTT services that make it all come to life. Without this technology, there would be no Netflix, no Disney+, no YouTube, no streaming video as we know it.
Apple TV is one of the most popular OTT platforms on the market. So it’s no wonder that Apple TV app development is getting popular. Not only is Apple’s streaming service easy to use, but TVOS also integrates with other Apple devices. So if you’re a video publisher or channel, creating an Apple TV app is a great investment.
