This growth during the historical period can be linked to escalating intricacy in broadcast media planning, a rising inclination for the adoption of cloud-based solutions, a surge in smart device requirements, an elevated need for improved operational efficiency and cost-cutting, and an increasing need for personalized content and engaging audiences.
The broadcast automation software market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for broadcast automation software is anticipated to experience significant expansion in the forthcoming years, rising to a valuation of $5.18 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%.
This expected growth during the forecast period can be tied to various factors like the increasing popularity of multimedia streaming applications, the surging requirement for seamless broadcasting in single-channel setups, growing needs for automation in broadcasting and entertainment sectors, rising demand for high-quality content, and higher investment in broadcasting infrastructure. Significant trends projected to shape the market during this period are technological advancements, the use of cloud-based solutions in broadcasting, the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, the emergence of personalized and interactive content experiences, and a shift towards IP-based and remote production workflows.
The growth trajectory of the broadcast automation software market is being projected by the surge in usage of multimedia streaming applications. Multimedia streaming involves the instantaneous playing of compressed audio or video content delivered over the Internet, negating the need for users to download the material on their devices. This increase in use is attributed to several factors such as the ubiquity of smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and other connected devices, the ease of access to high-speed internet, and the soaring demand for content that can be consumed on demand. Streamlined content management for media streaming platforms is facilitated by broadcast automation software, this includes handling content ingestion, transcoding, and distribution across varying devices and networks. Coordinating high precision tasks related to planning broadcast media is another critical benefit of automation software, enhancing the effortless transmission of multimedia content. In line with this, Netflix Inc., the American streaming service, made public in April 2023 that it witnessed a rise in the number of its paying subscribers from 223 million in Q4 2022 to 231 million by the first quarter of 2023. As such, the broadcast automation software market's growth is propelled by the surging demand for multimedia streaming applications.
