Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 05/15/2017 --The report is titled "OTT Video in Africa and the Middle East: Entry of international players stimulates competition while content remains key differentiating factor."

The report presents an analysis of the several OTT video service providers operating in Africa and the Middle East (AME) on the basis of criteria such as content offerings, business model, and challenges and opportunities. The report states that the rate of adoption of OTT video services is significantly rising in the region in line with the increased use of smartphones, development of the broadband infrastructure, introduction of 4G/LTE broadband technology, and increased penetration of pay-TV.

The AME OTT video market is witnessing a significant rise in the rate of competition between regional players and established international companies. For companies looking for ways make their mark in the highly competitive market, an extensive portfolio of international and regional content will be a key advantage. An extensive regional and international content portfolio will also help companies to increase their subscribers. However, the low usage of credit cards and a dearth of regional content are some of the factors projected to hinder the overall development of the market to a certain extent.
