Hotstar Leads India OTT Streaming Market, Google Heads Music Category



Hotstar remains India’s most popular OTT video streaming platform, according to data from mobile advertising and Internet service provider Jana. Hotstar is controlled by 21st Century Fox and operates on the freemium model, offering VoD users some content free of charge, and some paid for by annual subscription.


Jana’s report uses app installations as its yardstick. It shows that in the first quarter of 2018, Hotstar enjoyed 70% of video streaming app downloads. SonyLIV doubled its share from 5.9% three months earlier, to 13%. Viacom 18’s Voot was in third place with 11%, while Amazon Prime Video had a 5% share and Netflix 1.4%.

The nascent Indian OTT video market is currently valued at $109 million and is expected to double to $218 million by 2020, according to a recent Deloitte report.

U.S.-based Jana was launched in 2009 and has raised $93 million in investment. The company is a leading provider of free Internet in emerging markets, accessed through its mCent browser, one of the fastest growing browsers in India.
Its report also looks at the Indian music sector, valued at $180 million by Deloitte and set to grow to $270 million by 2020. Google Play Music remains by far the most downloaded service with an almost unchanged 64% of music app installations. In terms of time spent in-app by users, Google Play Music dropped from 46% to 40%, quarter-on-quarter, but remained 2% ahead of Jio-Saavn, a company newly formed by the merger of music streamers Saavn and Reliance Industries, JioMusic.

How Blockchain can change India’s entertainment industry

Digital technologies have played a big role in transforming the way content is produced and distributed in the entertainment industry over the past few years. Despite the many advancements, some challenges remain. The issues of revenue leakages, rights/ license management across locations, censorship and monopolistic distribution practices still exist and, in some cases, have grown. For instance, the Indian film industry, the world’s largest by a number of films produced, loses close to Rs 18,000 crore in piracy and less than half of the movies produced get a chance to reach the audience. The existing technology and infrastructure have robbed the music industry as well to the extent of about INR 6500 crore in revenue every year. In 2017, pirated music was downloaded nine billion times.
