India's OTT Market Expands Amid Streaming Rights Competition and Connected TV Ad Challenges
India's OTT streaming market is becoming more competitive with multiple platforms like Netflix, JioHotstar, Prime Video, ZEE5, and SonyLIV vying for film rights, especially for South Indian content. While producers gain more options, mid-budget films still face challenges securing deals as platforms prioritize marquee titles. Concurrently, connected TV (CTV) advertising grows but struggles with fragmented measurement standards, limiting ad spend shifts from linear TV despite audience migration to CTV devices.
